         and I dream of something wild.
Bm                                     A
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
     and I'm lying like a child in your arms.

      And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
                 F#m            D              E             A
      and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever.
                F#m                 D                  E
      And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong.
      D                              E
      Together we can take it to the end of the line.
           F#m                          B
      Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.
        A                             E/G#
      I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.
            F#m                         B
      We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
                        D           B             C#m     D
      I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight,
         E
      forever's gonna start tonight.

   A                      F#m                  C#m
D   A/C#
   Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling
apart.
           Bm                 E
   There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
    A                F#m                D          E
   A                          F#m                   C#m
   Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love
in
           D    A/C#
       the dark.
   Bm                  E                    A
   Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.


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):

   C      x32010
