[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
I get up in the evening
E
And I ain't got nothing to say
E
I come home in the morning
E
I go to bed feeling the same way
A F#m A
I ain't nothing but tired
F#m E
I'm just tired and bored with myself
C#m E
Hey there, baby
C#m
I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
E B
You can't start a fire without a spark
A F#m
This gun's for hire
A F#m E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 2]
E
Messages keep getting clearer
E
Radio's on, and I'm moving 'round my place
E
I check my look in the mirror
E
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
A F#m7
And I ain't getting nowhere
A F#m
And I'm just living in a dump like this
E C#m E
There's something happening somewhere
C#m
Baby, I just know that there is
[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
E B
You can't start a fire without a spark
A F#m
This gun's for hire
A F#m E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Guitar Solo]
E
[Bridge]
C#m E
You sit around getting older
A B
There's a joke here somewhere, and it's on me
C#m E
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
A B
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
E C#m
Stay on the streets of this town
C#m
And they'll be carving you up all right
E C#m
You say, "You gotta stay hungry"
E
Yeah, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
A F#m7
Dying for some action
A F#m7
I'm sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
E C#m
I need a love reaction
E C#m
Come on, give me just one look
[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
E B
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
A F#m
This gun's for hire
A F#m
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
B
You can't start a fire
E
Worrying about your little world falling apart
A
This gun's for hire
F#m E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Outro]
E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
E
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
