[Strophe]
Am                                         G 
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, and you're never coming round 
Am                                         G 
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears 
C                                          Bb 
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by 
C                                          Bb 
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes 
Eb            Ab 
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and the I fall apart 
Eb            Ab                                     G 
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and the I fall apart
[Refrain]
      Em              C            D                  G 
And I need you now, tonight, and I need you more than ever 
           Em           C              D             G 
And if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever 
          Em                C                  D 
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong 
  C                            D 
Together we can take it to the end of the line 
     Em                          A 
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time 
  G                             D 
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark 
      Em                         A 
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks 
                     G        D/F#         G       C 
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight 
   D 
Forever's gonna start tonight  
G                      Em                  B7                    C      C/D 
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart 
        Am                  D                    G    Em   C   D 
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart 
G                          Em                   B7                           C     C/D 
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark 
Am                   D                    G    Em   C   D   G 
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
