[Intro]

[Verse]

D
I get up in the evening
D
And I ain't got nothing to say
D
I come home in the morning
D
I go to bed feeling the same way
G                   Em   G
I ain't nothing but tired
         Em        
I'm just tired and 
            D
bored with myself
           Bm  D
Hey there, baby
        Bm
I could use just a little help
 
 
[Chorus]

A
You can't start a fire
               
You can't start 
  D        A
a fire without a spark
G              Em
This gun's for hire
G                  Em            D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Verse]

D
Messages keep getting clearer
D
Radio's on, 

and I'm moving 'round my place
D
I check my look in the mirror
D
I wanna change my clothes, 

my hair, my face
G                   Em7
And I ain't getting nowhere
G              Em
And I'm just living in

 a dump like this
D                           Bm       D
There's something happening somewhere
      Bm
Baby, I just know that there is
 
 
[Chorus]

A
You can't start a fire
                
You can't start 
  D        A
a fire without a spark
G              Em
This gun's for hire
G                  Em            D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Solo]

D
 
 
[Bridge]

Bm                    D
You sit around getting older
G                       A
There's a joke here somewhere, 

and it's on me
Bm             
I'll shake this
            D
 world off my shoulders 
G             
Come on, baby, 
    A
the laugh's on me
 
 
[Verse]

D                      Bm
Stay on the streets of this town
Bm
And they'll be 

carving you up all right
D                        
You say, 
                Bm
"You gotta stay hungry"
D
Yeah, baby, 

I'm just about starving tonight
G              Em7
Dying for some action
G                          
I'm sick of sitting around 
Em7
here trying to write this book
D               Bm
I need a love reaction
D        
Come on, 
Bm
give me just one look
 
 
[Chorus]

A
You can't start a fire
               D             
Sitting 'round crying 
       A
over a broken heart
G              Em
This gun's for hire
G                  
Even if we're just 
Em
dancing in the dark
A
You can't start a fire
                           
Worrying about your 
       D
little world falling apart
G
This gun's for hire
                   Em            D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Outro]

D
Even if we're just 

dancing in the dark
D
Even if we're just 

dancing in the dark
D
Even if we're just 

dancing in the dark
