Bm A TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round. Bm A TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit tired of list'ning to the sound of my tears. D C TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by. D C TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes. F Bb TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart. F Bb TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart. Bm A TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild. Bm A TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms. D C TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry. D C TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes. F Bb TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart. F Bb A TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and then I fall apart. F#m D E A And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever F#m D E A and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever. F#m D E And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong. D E Together we can take it to the end of the line. F#m B Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time. A E/G# I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark. F#m B We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks. D B C#m D I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight, E forever's gonna start tonight. A F#m C#m D A/C# Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart. Bm E There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart. A F#m D E A F#m C#m Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in D A/C# the dark. Bm E A Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart. Musical break and the second verse just repeat the same as the first. Song fades out on: A F#m D E Turn around, bright eyes 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. adam #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.
