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
