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

INTRO:
[A] [B] [C#m] [C#m] / [A] [B] [C#m] [C#m]

VERSE 1:
Just a [A/C#] steel town girl on a [C#m6] Saturday night
Looking [C#m7] for the fight of her [C#mMaj7] life
in the [A] real time world no one [Aadd9] sees her at all
they [Bsus2/A] all say she's ^[G#7sus4] crazy ^[G#7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [A/C#] rhythm to the [C#m6] beat of her heart
Changing [C#m7] movement into [C#mMaj7] light
She had [A] danced into the [Aadd9] danger zone
When the [Bsus2/A] dancer becomes the ^[G#7sus4] dance ^[G#7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[F#7] It can cut you like a [G#7] knife if the fight becomes the [A] fire
On the wire between [G#7] will and what will [G#7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [A] maniac, [B] maniac on the [C#m] floor [C#m]
And she's [A] dancing like she's [B] never danced be-[C#m]-fore [C#m]
She's a [A] maniac, [B] maniac on the [C#m] floor [C#m]
And she's [A] dancing like she's [B] never danced be-[F#9]-fore [F#9]

VERSE 3:
On the [A/C#] ice blue line of in-[C#m6]-sanity
is a [C#m7] place most never [C#mMaj7] see
It's a [A] hard won place of [Aadd9] mystery
[Bsus2/A] touch it but can't ^[G#7sus4] hold it ^[G#7]

VERSE 4:
You [A/C#] work all your life, for that [C#m6] moment in time
It could [C#m7] come or pass you [C#mMaj7] by
it's a [A] push shove world but there's [Aadd9] always a chance
if the [Bsus2/A] hunger stays the ^[G#7sus4] night ^[G#7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[F#7] There's a cold kinetic [G#7] heat struggling stretching for the [A] peak
Never stopping with her head [G#7] against the [G#7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [A] ^[G#7][C#m] [A] ^[G#7][C#m]

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1:

REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
