-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 6

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night Looking for the fight of her life
5 -6 6 6 6 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5 -5 -6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5

In the real time world no one sees her at all They all say she’s crazy
-3 -5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -3

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light
5 -6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 -6 6 6 6 -6 -5

She has danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance
-3 -5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -3 -3

It can cut you like a knife If the gift becomes the fire
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 -6 -5

On a wire between will and what will be
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6

She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
-5 6 -6 6 -5 7 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 -3

And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -3

She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
-5 6 -6 6 -5 7 -6 6 6 6 -5 -3

And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 (-3 3 -2 )

On the ice-blue line of insanity Is a place most never see
It’s a hard-won place of mystery Touch it, but can’t hold it

You work all your life for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by
It’s a push-shove world, but there’s always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

There’s a cold kinetic heat Struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping with her hair against the wind

She’s a maniac, maniac at your door
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac at your door
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before

It can cut you like a knife If the gift becomes the fire
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 -6 -5

On a wire between will and what it will be
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6 7 -7

She’s a maniac, maniac at your door
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac at your door
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before

5 -4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5
First, when there’s nothing but a slow glowing dream
-4 4 -6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -4
That your fear seems to hide deep in-s-i-de your mind
4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5 -4 4
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
-4 4 -6 6 -5 6 -5 6 5 4 -4
In a world made of steel, made of stone

4 -4 5 4 -4 3 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5 4
Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
4 4 -6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 5 -4
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

-6 -7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6
What a feeling, bein’s believin’
6 -7 7 7 7 -8 7 -7 7 7 -8 6 6
I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life

-6 -7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6
Take your passion, and make it happen
6 -7 7 7 -8 6 -7 7 7 -8 6 6
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life

6 -5 5 4 -4 3 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5 4
Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm
4 4 -6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 5 -4
In a flash it takes hold of my heart

MANIAC
From Flashdance
By Michael Sembello & Dennis Matkosky

Just a small town girl
-4 7 -6* -6* -6*
on a Sat-ur-day night,
-6* 6 -6* 7 -6* 6
look-in’ for the fight of her life
-4 7 -6* -6* -6* 7 -6* 6-5-4
In the real-time world
3 6 -5 -55 -5
no one sees her at all,
-5 5 -5 6 -5 -5
they all say she’s cra-zy
-5 5 -5 5 6 -4
Lock-ing rhy-thms to the beat of her heart,
-4 7 -6* -6* -6*-6*6 -6* 7 -6* 6
chang-ing move-ment in-to light
-4 7 -6* -6* -6* 7 -6*-5-3
She has danced in-to the dan-ger zone,
3 6 -5 -5 5 -55 -5 -5 -5
when the dan-cer be-comes the dance
-5 5 -5 -5 -5 6 5 -4
It can cut you like a knife,
7 7 7 7 7 7 7
if the gift be-comes the fire
7 7 7 7 -7 6 6-5-4
On the wire be-tween will and what will be
7 7 7 7 7 7 -6* 6 -6* 6

She’s a ma-ni-ac, ma-ni-ac on the floor
6 -6* 7-6* 6 -7 7 -6* 6 6 66-5-4
And she’s danc-ing like she’s
6 -6* 7 7 7 7
nev-er danced be-fore
7 -6* -6* 6 6 -4-3-4
She’s a ma-ni-ac, ma-ni-ac on the floor
6 -6* 7-6* 6 -7 7 -6* 6 6 66-5-4
And she’s dancing like she’s
6 -6* 7 7 7 7
nev-er danced be-fore
7 -6* -6* 6 6 -4-33

On the ice-blue line of in-san-i-ty
-4 7 -6* -6* -6* -6* 6-6*7-6* 6
is a place most nev-er see
-4 7 -6* -6* -6*7-6* 6-5-4
It’s a hard won place of mys-ter-y,
3 6 -5 -55 -5 -55 -56 -5 -5
touch it, but can’t hold it
-5 5 -5 5 6 -4
You work all your life for that
7 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6* 6
mo-ment in time,
-6* 7 -6* 6
it could come or pass you by
7 7 -6* -6* -6*7 -6* 6-5-4
It’s a push, shove world,
3 6 -5 -5 5 -5
but there’s al-ways a chance
-5 5 -5 6 -5 -5
If the hun-ger stays the night
-5 5 -5 -5 -5 6 5 -4
There’s a cold ki-net-ic heat,
7 7 7 7 7 7 7
strug-gling, stretch-ing for the peak.
7 7 7 7 -7 6 6 -55
Nev-er stop-ping with her
7 7 7 7 7 7
head a-gainst the wind
7 -6* 6 -6*6 -6*

She’s a ma-ni-ac, ma-ni-ac, on the floor
6 -6* 7-6* 6 -7 7 -6* 6 6 66-5-4
And she’s danc-ing like she’s
6 -6* 7 7 7 7
nev-er danced before
7 -6* -6* 6 6 -4-33

She’s a ma-ni-ac, ma-ni-ac, on the floor
6 -6* 7-6* 6 -7 7 -6* 6 6 66-5-4
And she’s danc-ing like she’s
6 -6* 7 7 7 7
nev-er danced before
7 -6* -6* 6 6 -4-3-4
