Em                  Em6
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
        Em7                 Em(maj7)
Looking for the fight of her life
        C                      Cadd9
in the real time world no one sees her at all
       Cadd9(13)   B7sus4 B7
they all say she's crazy



Em                  Em6
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
        Em7                 Em(maj7)
Changing movement into light
             C                      Cadd9
She had danced into the danger zone
             Cadd9(13)                     B7sus4 B7
When the dancer becomes the dance

A7         B7                            C
It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
                    B7(b13)            B7
On the wire between will and what will be



C         D                Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
                       C                     D                    Em
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

C           D                    Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
             C                           D                    A
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Em                  Em6
On the ice blue line of insanity
        Em7                 Em(maj7)
is a place most never see
        C                      Cadd9
It's a hard won place of mystery
       Cadd9(13)   B7sus4 B7
touch it but can't hold it

Em                  Em6
You work all your life, for that moment in time
        Em7                 Em(maj7)
It could come or pass you by
        C                      Cadd9
it's a push shove world but there's always a chance
      Cadd9(13)          B7sus4 B7
if the hunger stays the night

A7              B7                             C
There's a cold kinetic heat struggling stretching for the peak
                            B7(b13)            B7
Never stopping with her head against the wind

C         D                Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
                       C                     D                    Em
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

C     D                     Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
                   C                           D                    A
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
