total eclipse (from memory, so it might be a little off....).
[Gm]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [F]little bit lonely
and you're never coming round.
[Gm]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [F]little bit tired
of list'ning to the sound of my tears.
[Bb]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [Ab]little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by.
[Bb]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [Ab]little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes.
[Db]TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES[F#] Every now and then I fall apart.
[Db]TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES[F#] Every now and then I fall apart.
[Gm]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [F]little bit restless
and I dream of something wild.
[Gm]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [F]little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
[Bb]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [Ab]little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry.
[Bb]TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a [Ab]little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes.
[Db]TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES [F#]Every now and then I fall apart.
[Db]TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES [F#]Every now and then I fall apar[F]t.
And I [Dm]need you now tonight[Bb] and I ne[C]ed you more than ev[F]er
and if you [Dm]only hold me ti[Bb]ght we'll be ho[C]lding on forev[F]er.
And we'll [Dm]only be making it ri[Bb]ght 'cause we'll ne[C]ver be wrong.
[Bb]Together we can take it to the [C]end of the line.
Your [Dm]love is like a shadow on me a[G]ll of the time.
I [F]don't know what to do and I'm [C/E]always in the dark.
We're [Dm]living in a powder keg and g[G]iving off sparks.
I really need you [Bb]tonight, for[G]ever's gonna s[Am]tart ton[Bb]ight,
for[C]ever's gonna start tonight.
[F] [Dm] [Am]
[Bb] O[F/A]nce upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling
apart.
There's [Gm]nothing I can do, a[C] total eclipse of the heart.
[F] [Dm] [Bb] [C]
[F]Once upon a time there was [Dm]light in my life but n[Am]ow there's only love
[in]
the [Bb]dark.[F/A]
[Gm]Nothing I can say, a[C] total eclipse of the[F] heart.
Musical break and the second verse just repeat the same as the first.
Song fades out on:
[F]Turn around,[Dm] bright eyes[Bb] [C]
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
[Db] [133211]
[F#]D# [113331]668881
D xx0232
Em 022000
A x02220
C/D x32013
