[Vers 1:]

       D#m                  D#m6           
Just a still town girl on a saturday night 

        D#m7                 D#mj7        G#m6/B          
lookin' for the fight of her life, in the real-time world 

       C#7/B                 F#sus4/B         D#m/A# A# 
no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy.       

        D#m                 D#m6                  D#m7       D#mj7 
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart changing woman into life, 

        G#m6/B          C#7/B              F#sus4/B         D#m/A# A# 
she has danced into the danger zone when a dancer becomes a dance.    

[Bridge:]

G#7                             A#7sus4                              B 
    It can cut you like a knife         if the gift becomes the fire   

                       D#m/A#            A# 
on a wire between will and what will be. 

[Chorus:]

          B       C#          D#m                  B        
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor, and she's dancing like 

         C#                D#m           B       C#          D#m    
she's never danced before.     She's a maniac, maniac on the floor, 

              B                 C#                G#m6      
and she's dancing like she's never danced before. ---- ---- 

[Vers 2:]

       D#m            D#m6        D#m7             D#mj7 
On the ice-built iron sanity is a place most never see,  

       G#m6/B             C#7/B          F#sus4/B          D#m/A# A# 
it's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it.       

    D#m                         D#m6            
You work all your life for that moment in time, 

         D#m7             D#mj7        G#m6/B            
it could come or pass you by,   it's a push of the world 

            C#7/B                  F#sus4/B     D#m/A#     A# 
but there's always a chance if the hunger stays the night.    

[Bridge:]

G#7                                 A#7sus4 
    There's a cold connective heat,         

                                   B 
struggling, stretching for defeat,   

                             D#m/A#                   A# 
never stopping with her head        against the wind. 

[Chorus:]

          B       C#          D#m                 B        
She's a maniac, maniac I sure know, and she's dancing like 

         C#                D#m           B       C#          D#m   
she's never danced before.     She's a maniac, maniac I sure know, 

              B                 C#                G#m6 
and she's dancing like she's never danced before. ----

    It can cut you like a knife         if the gift becomes the fire

[Chorus:]

          B       C#          D#m                 B        
She's a maniac, maniac I sure know, and she's dancing like 

         C#                D#m           B       C#          D#m   
she's never danced before.     She's a maniac, maniac I sure know, 

              B                 C#                G#m6 
and she's dancing like she's never danced before. ----
