[B] [Gbm] [Ebm] [Db]
[B] [Gbm] [Ebm] [Ab]
[B] The real-time [C] girl on a Saturday [Ebm] night, looking for the [Bm] fight of her life.
In the real-time [Db] world, no one sees her at [B] all.
They all say she's crazy.
[Bb]
[B] She's rocking rhythms [C] to the beat of her heart, [Ebm] and tingling them [Bb] into life.
[Db] She has danced into the danger zone, [B] when the dancer [Ebm] becomes the [Bb] man.
[Ab] She can [B] catch you [Bb] like a knife, if the [B] gift becomes the fire.
All the wire [Ebm] between will and what [Bb] will be.
[B] She's a maniac, [Gb] maniac [Ebm] on the floor.
[B] And she's dancing like [Gb] she's never danced [Ebm] before.
[Abm]
[B] She's a maniac, [Db] maniac [Ebm] on the floor.
[Bbm]
[B] And she's dancing like [Db] she's never [Bm] danced before.
[Gb]
[B] On the ice, through the [Gb] line of insanity, it's a place most [D] never see.
[Db] It's a hard-won [B] place of mystery.
Touch is what can't [Ebm] [Bb] hold it.
[B] You run all your [Ebm] life for that moment in time.
It could come or [Bb] pass you [Db] by.
It's a bush of a world, but there's always a dance if the hunger [Ebm] stays [Bb] at night.
[Ab] There's a cold [Bb] kinetic heat, struggling, stretching [B] for the beat.
Never stopping with [Ebm] her head [D] against the wind.
[B] She's a maniac, [Gbm] maniac [Ebm] at your door.
[Db] [B] And she's dancing like [Gb] she's never [Ebm] danced before.
[Abm] [B] She's a maniac, [Gb] maniac [Ebm] at your [Db] door.
[B] And she's dancing like [Gb] she's never [Abm] danced before.
[B] [Bb]
[Ebm] [B] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Ebm] [Gb] [Bb]
[Ebm] [Gb] [Bbm]
[Ebm] [B] [Ebm]
[Bb] [Gb] [Db]
[Gb] [Ebm] [Bb] [B] [C]
[Ebm] [Eb] You [Gb] [Db]
[Ebm] [Bb] [Ab] can cut she [Bb] like a knife.
If the gift [B] becomes a part.
All the wire [Ebm] between will and what [Bb] will be.
[B] She's a [Db] maniac, maniac [Ebm] at your door.
I'm a maniac, maniac, I sure know.
[Db] [B] And she's dancing [Gb] like she's never [Ebm] danced before.
[B] She's a maniac, [Db] maniac, [Ebm] I sure know.
[F] [B] And she's dancing [Gbm] like she's never [Abm] danced [Ebm] before.
[B] Maniac, [Gb] maniac, [Ebm] I sure know.
[Db] And [B] she's dancing [Gb] like she's never danced [Ebm] before.
[B] She's a maniac.
