Intro: C, Dsus4, Em 2X
Em Em6
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Em7 Em
Looking for the fight of her life
C Cadd9
in the real time world no one sees her at all
Cadd9 B7sus4 B7
they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She had danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
A7 B7 C
It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
B7
On the wire between will and what will be
C Dsus4 Em
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
C Dsus4 Em
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
C Dsus4 Em
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
C Dsus4 Asus
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
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 peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac maniac on the floor I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac maniac on the floor I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Before solo: C, B7, Em } 2X
SOLO: chords like in verses
It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac maniac on the floor I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac maniac on the floor I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
maniac maniac on the floor I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
