Michael Sembello, Maniac (1983)
^{Key: :[Dm] (w: Dennis Matkosky, Michael Sembello) (BPM: 160 / 00-A) (Original Key: D#m)}

INTRO:
[A#] [C] [Dm] [Dm] / [A#] [C] [Dm] [Dm]

VERSE 1:
Just a [A#/D] steel town girl on a [Dm6] Saturday night
Looking [Dm7] for the fight of her [DmMaj7] life
in the [A#] real time world no one [A#add9] sees her at all
they [Csus2/A#] all say she's ^[A7sus4] crazy ^[A7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [A#/D] rhythm to the [Dm6] beat of her heart
Changing [Dm7] movement into [DmMaj7] light
She had [A#] danced into the [A#add9] danger zone
When the [Csus2/A#] dancer becomes the ^[A7sus4] dance ^[A7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[G7] It can cut you like a [A7] knife if the fight becomes the [A#] fire
On the wire between [A7] will and what will [A7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [A#] maniac, [C] maniac on the [Dm] floor [Dm]
And she's [A#] dancing like she's [C] never danced be-[Dm]-fore [Dm]
She's a [A#] maniac, [C] maniac on the [Dm] floor [Dm]
And she's [A#] dancing like she's [C] never danced be-[G9]-fore [G9]

VERSE 3:
On the [A#/D] ice blue line of in-[Dm6]-sanity
is a [Dm7] place most never [DmMaj7] see
It's a [A#] hard won place of [A#add9] mystery
[Csus2/A#] touch it but can't ^[A7sus4] hold it ^[A7]

VERSE 4:
You [A#/D] work all your life, for that [Dm6] moment in time
It could [Dm7] come or pass you [DmMaj7] by
it's a [A#] push shove world but there's [A#add9] always a chance
if the [Csus2/A#] hunger stays the ^[A7sus4] night ^[A7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[G7] There's a cold kinetic [A7] heat struggling stretching for the [A#] peak
Never stopping with her head [A7] against the [A7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [A#] ^[A7][Dm] [A#] ^[A7][Dm]
