Musical break and the second verse just repeat the same as the first.

Song fades out on:
A           F#m            D            E
Turn around, bright eyes

 I might be off on the first section, but the rest is correct.
Oh, and it's words and music by Jim Steinman; Tyler only recorded it.

Notes:
...I heard an annoying techno version of this song tonight at a dance
   party, which inspired me to come home and try to do a decent-sounding
   acoustic remake.  the music was so loud I probably have permanent
   hearing loss, so it's not my fault if these chords aren't right!  :)
...lyrics nabbed from ftp.uwp.edu.
...pick the chords creatively during the verses, it sounds prettier.
...feel free to write me about corrections or enhancements, or if you're
   a seattle-based musician looking for a band, or whatever!
...and the chord formations (or how I play them, anyhow):

   Am	  x02210
   G	  320033
   C	  x32010
   F	  133211
   Bb	  113331
   D#	  668881
   D	  xx0232
   Em	  022000
   A	  x02220
   C/D    x32013
