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.

Notes:

...I heard an annoying techno version of this song tonight at a dance

   party, which inspired me to come home and try to do a decent-sounding

   acoustic remake.  the music was so loud I probably have permanent

   hearing loss, so it's not my fault if these chords aren't right!  :)

...lyrics nabbed from ftp.uwp.edu.

...pick the chords creatively during the verses, it sounds prettier.

...feel free to write me about corrections or enhancements, or if you're

   a seattle-based musician looking for a band, or whatever!

...and the chord formations (or how I play them, anyhow):

   Am   x02210

   G   320033

   C   x32010

   F   133211

   Bb   113331

   D#   668881

   D   xx0232

   Em   022000

   A   x02220

   C/D    x32013
