total eclipse (from memory, so it might be a little off....).

Bm Bm A A
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round.
Bm Bm A A
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit tired
of list'ning to the sound of my tears.
D D C C
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by.
D D C C
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes.
F F Bb Bb
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart.
F F Bb Bb
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart.

Bm Bm A A
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild.
Bm Bm A A
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
D D C C
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry.
D D C C
TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes.
F F Bb Bb
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart.
F F Bb Bb A A
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart.

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

A A F#m F#m C#m C#m
D D A/C# A/C#
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling
apart.
Bm Bm E E
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
A A F#m F#m D D E E
A A F#m F#m C#m C#m
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love
in
D D A/C# A/C#
the dark.
Bm Bm E E A 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 A F#m F#m D D E 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
Eb 668881
D xx0232
Em 022000
A x02220
C/D x32013
