[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                                          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 then I fall apart
Eb            Ab                                      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
  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
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
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart

  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

Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart
Am                   D                    G    Em
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
  D                    G    Em
A total eclipse of the heart
