[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                            A
I go to bed feeling the same way
A
I ain't nothing but tired
                                     E
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
                                          B
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
                                 A
You can't start a fire without a spark
A
This gun's for hire
N.C.
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Verse 2]
E
Message keeps getting clearer
E
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
E
I check my look in the mirror
E                                      A
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
A
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
A                              E
I'm just living in a dump like this
E
There's something happening somewhere
E                            B
Baby, I just know that there is

[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
B                                A
You can't start a fire without a spark
A
This gun's for hire
N.C.
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Bridge]
C#m
Sit around getting older
A                       B                 C#m
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
C#m
Shake this world off my shoulders
A                  B
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

[Verse 3]
E
Stay on the streets of this town
E
And they'll be carving you up all right
E
They say you gotta stay hungry
E                                    A
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
A
I'm dying for some action
A                                                    E
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
E
I need a love reaction
E                       B
Oh baby, gimme just one look

[Chorus]
B
You can't start a fire
B                                   A
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
A
This gun's for hire
A
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
B
You can't start a fire
B                                         A
Worrying about your little world falling apart
A
This gun's for hire
A
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
B
Can't start a fire
B                                A
You can't start a fire without a spark
A
This gun's for hire
A
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Interlude]
|A   |

[Outro]
A
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
N.C.
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
