Intro: Bbm
 
Verse 1:
Bbm
Turn around
                           Ab
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming 'round
Bbm
Turn around
                           Ab
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Db
Turn around
                           B
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Db
Turn around
                           B
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
 
Bridge:

Turn around, bright eyes!
Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes!
Every now and then I fall apart

Bbm
Turn around
                           Ab
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
Bbm
Turn around
                           Ab
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms
Db
Turn around
                           B
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry

Turn around
                           B
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes

E           A
Turn around, bright eyes!

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes!

Every now and then I fall apart

Biography

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on 8 June 1951- Skewen, Wales, United Kingdom) is a Welsh singer.

Recognised for her distinctly raspy voice and soulful pop repertoire, Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler had her first worldwide hit in 1978 with “It’s a Heartache” from her second album, Natural Force. Characteristic of her work in the ’70s, it blended elements of country, rock, and pop. Leaving signs of country behind, she struck recording-industry gold a second time with 1983’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” from fifth LP Faster Than the Speed of Night.
