[Verse 1]
 
         Em
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
        Em                     (E    )
Looking for the fight of her life
        C
in the real time world noone sees her at all
       C     (      )  B
they all say she's crazy
 
               Em
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
        Em                     (E    )
Changing movement into light
             C
She had danced into the danger zone
             C     (      )        B
When the dancer becomes the dance
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
A                       B
It can cut you like a knife 
                         C
if the gift becomes the fire
       B  (   )
On the wire between will and what will be
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
         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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         Em
On the iceblue line of insanity
        Em                     (E    )
is a place most never see
        C
It's a hard won place of mystery
       C     (      )  B
touch it but can't hold it
 
         Em
You work all your life, for that moment in time
        Em                  Em(E    )
It could come or pass you by
        C
it's a push shove world but there's always a chance
      C     (      )         B
if the hunger stays the night
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
A                       B                                  There's a cold kinetic heat 
                             C
struggling stretching for the peak
                        B  (   )
Never stopping with her head against the wind
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
         C         D           Em
She's a maniac, maniac at your door
          C                  D            Em
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
 
         C         D           Em
She's a maniac, maniac at your door
          C                  D            A
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

A                      B    
It can cut you like a knife 
                         C
if the gift becomes the fire
       B  (   )
On the wire between will and what will be

          C                  D            A
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
