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

INTRO:
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm] [Cm] / [Ab] [Bb] [Cm] [Cm]

VERSE 1:
Just a [Ab/C] steel town girl on a [Cm6] Saturday night
Looking [Cm7] for the fight of her [CmMaj7] life
in the [Ab] real time world no one [Abadd9] sees her at all
they [Bbsus2/Ab] all say she's ^[G7sus4] crazy ^[G7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [Ab/C] rhythm to the [Cm6] beat of her heart
Changing [Cm7] movement into [CmMaj7] light
She had [Ab] danced into the [Abadd9] danger zone
When the [Bbsus2/Ab] dancer becomes the ^[G7sus4] dance ^[G7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[F7] It can cut you like a [G7] knife if the fight becomes the [Ab] fire
On the wire between [G7] will and what will [G7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [Ab] maniac, [Bb] maniac on the [Cm] floor [Cm]
And she's [Ab] dancing like she's [Bb] never danced be-[Cm]-fore [Cm]
She's a [Ab] maniac, [Bb] maniac on the [Cm] floor [Cm]
And she's [Ab] dancing like she's [Bb] never danced be-[F9]-fore [F9]

VERSE 3:
On the [Ab/C] ice blue line of in-[Cm6]-sanity
is a [Cm7] place most never [CmMaj7] see
It's a [Ab] hard won place of [Abadd9] mystery
[Bbsus2/Ab] touch it but can't ^[G7sus4] hold it ^[G7]

VERSE 4:
You [Ab/C] work all your life, for that [Cm6] moment in time
It could [Cm7] come or pass you [CmMaj7] by
it's a [Ab] push shove world but there's [Abadd9] always a chance
if the [Bbsus2/Ab] hunger stays the ^[G7sus4] night ^[G7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[F7] There's a cold kinetic [G7] heat struggling stretching for the [Ab] peak
Never stopping with her head [G7] against the [G7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [Ab] ^[G7][Cm] [Ab] ^[G7][Cm]

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1:

REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
