Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
Originally around Bbm, I play in Em
Only do the very first “turn around” unless otherwise noted
Intro
Em
Em(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
DLittle bit lonely and you’re never coming round
Em(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
DLittle bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
G(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
FLittle bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
G(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
FLittle bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Sing “turn around” both times, and “every now and then” just the first time
Also note to self, that chord is over the *4*, not the 3
A#(Turn around A#/D#bright eyes) Every now and the I fall apart
A#(Turn around A#/D#bright eyes) Every now and the I fall apart
Yes, do the “turn around” again here
Em(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
DLittle bit restless and I dream of something wild
Em(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
DLittle bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms
G(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
FLittle bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
G(Turn around) Every now and then I get a
FLittle bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
A#(Turn around A#/D#bright eyes) Every now and the I fall apart
