Song: Total Eclipse of the Heart
By:   Bonnie Tyler

[intro:] 2 X [ Bbm ] {piano only}

[verse: 1]
Bbm                                                 
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
  Ab
little bit lonely and you're never coming around 
Bbm
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
  Ab
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears 
Db
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
  B
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by 
Db
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
  B
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes 
E {bass kicis in}  A            A
(Turnaround      bright eyes), every now and then I fall apart 
E              A           A
(Turnaround bright eyes), every now and then I fall apart 

[verse: 2]   {piano+bass+percussios+strum guitar}
Bbm
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
Ab
little bit restless and I dream of something wild 
Bbm
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
Ab
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms 
Db
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
B
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry 
Db
(Turnaround), every now and then I get a 
B
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes 
E              A            A   
(Turnaround, bright eyes), every now and then I fall apart 
E              A            A                        Ab
(Turnaround, bright eyes), every now and then I fall apart 

 

[bridge:]    
       Fm            Db            Eb                 Ab
And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever 
        Fm                  Db             Eb            Ab
And if you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever
      Fm                     Db                           Eb
And we'll only be making it right, cause we'll never be wrong 
    Db                         Eb
Together we can take it to the end of the line
     Fm                          Bb               Bb
your love is like a shadow on me all of the time 
   Ab                              Eb
I don't know what to do, and I'm always in the dark,
      Fm                           Bb              Bb
we're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks 
                     Ab
I really need you tonight;
  Fm                      Db
forever's gonna start tonight
    Eb                  Ab    {let ring}
forever's gonna start tonight 

{piano  only}
 Ab                     Fm
Once upon a time I was falling in love
     C                    Db
but now I'm only falling apart 
         Bbm
There's nothing I can do,
                        {bass kicks in with percussions}
   Eb                    Ab     Fm  Db  Eb
a total eclipse of the heart 
Ab                          Fm
Once upon a time there was light in my life
     C                            Db
but now there's only love in the dark 
Bbm
Nothing I can say, 
   Eb                    Ab   Fm  Db  Eb 
a total eclipse of the heart
