[Verse]
Em Em6
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Em7 Em(maj7)
Looking for the fight of her life
C Cadd9
in the real time world no one sees her at all
Cadd9(13) B7sus4 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
[Pre-Chorus]
A7* B7* C*
It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
B7(b13) B7
On the wire between will and what will be
[Chorus]
C* Dsus4 Em*
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
C* Dsus4 Em*
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
C* Dsus4 Em*
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
C* Dsus4 A9
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a cold kinetic heat struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
[Chorus]
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

chords like in verses
[Pre-Chorus]
It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
[Chorus]
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...

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life in the real time world
No one sees her at all they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She haS danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
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
She's a maniac, maniac at the show,
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
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
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
