[Verse 1]
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                                         A#
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by
C                                         A#
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
D#            G#
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
D#            G#                                      G
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart


[Verse 2]
Am                                        G
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild
Am                                        G
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms
C                                         A#
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry
C                                         A#
(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
D#            G#
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart
D#            G#                                      G
(Turn around, Bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart


[Chorus]
      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 (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

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
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
