[Verse]
       D#m                                
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
        D#m                      
Looking for the fight of her life
       B                      C#             
In the real time world no one sees her at all
B                  A#   
They all say she's crazy
D#m                                     
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
         D#m                
Changing movement into light
        B               C#         
She has danced into the danger zone
         B                  A#7   G#7
When the dancer becomes the dance ■  


[Chorus]
                      A#7  
It can cut you like a knife
                        B   
If the gift becomes the fire
                                       A#7
On the wire between will and what will be 
        B      C#        D#m      
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
          B                  C#           D#m   
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
        B      C#        D#m       D#m7
She's a maniac maniac on the floor ■   
          B                  C#7                
And she's dancing like she's never danced before


[Verse]
       D#m                                                
On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see
       B                        
It's a hard won place of mystery
                   D#m  A#
Touch it but can't hold it
D#m                                           
You work all your life for that moment in time
   D#m                      
It could come or pass you by
       B                    C#                     
It's a push shove world but there's always a chance
   B                A#7 A# G#7      
If the hunger stays the ■  ■   night


[Chorus]
          G#7              
There's a cold kinetic heat
                              B   
Struggling stretching for the peak
                                         A#7 
Never stopping with her head against the wind
        B            
She's a maniac maniac
  D#m7     
I sure know
          B                  C#sus4       D#m7   D#m
And she's dancing like she's never danced before ■  
        B      C#    
She's a maniac maniac
  D#m7     
I sure know
          Bmaj7              C#7                
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
C#7   
Ooh oh
C#7   
Ooh ah
