Intro: C C, Dsus4 Dsus4, Em Em 2X


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

Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She had danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance


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



C C Dsus4 Dsus4 Em Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
C C Dsus4 Dsus4 Em Em
And she's dancing like she's never danced before


C C Dsus4 Dsus4 Em Em
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
C C Dsus4 Dsus4 Asus Asus
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

On the ice blue line of insanity
is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery
touch it but can't hold it

You work all your life, for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by
it's a push shove world but there's always a chance
if the hunger stays the night


There's a cold kinetic heat struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind


She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before


Before solo: C C, B7 B7, Em Em } 2X
SOLO: chords like in verses

It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

...maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before...

About this song: Maniac

The song was used in the 1983 film Flashdance and was inspired by the 1980 horror film Maniac. The film Maniac was about a serial killer who stalks his victims in New York City. The song's performer and co-writer Michael Sembello recalls that an early version of the chorus was: He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure, He will kill your cat and nail him to the door. At the suggestion of the record's producer Phil Ramone, the lyrics were rewritten to describe a girl with a passion for dancing. The lyrics became:
