C               Am7     C
I get up in the evening
            Am7                C
And I ain't got nothing to say
                   Am7
I come home in the morning
  C                 Am7           F
I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Dm7    F
I ain't nothing but tired
             Dm7                    C
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
          Am7 C         Am7               G
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help


[Chorus]
G
You can't start a fire
                                 F
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Dm7   F
This gun's for hire
                   Dm7            C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark


[Verse 2]
C                     Am7    C
Message keeps getting clearer
                   Am7               C
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
                       Am7
I check my look in the mirror
  C               Am7                  F
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                    Dm7   F
Man I ain't getting nowhere
         Dm7                   C
I'm just living in a dump like this
                            Am7      C
There's something happening somewhere
            Am7             G
Baby I just know that there is


[Chorus]
G
You can't start a fire
                                 F
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Dm7   F
This gun's for hire
                   Dm7            C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark


[Bridge]
Am7                    C
You sit around getting older
F                       G                 Am7
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
                             C
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
F                 G
Come on baby this laugh's on me


[Verse 3]
C                           Am7  C
Stay on the streets of this town
               Am7              C
And they'll be carving you up alright
                        Am7   C
They say you gotta stay hungry
              Am7                   F
Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
                   Dm7    F
I'm dying for some action
                           Dm7                       C
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
                Am7    C
I need a love reaction
                 Am7            G
Come on now baby gimme just one look


[Chorus]
G                                                          F
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
               Dm7  F
This gun's for hire
                   Dm7            G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
                                                                 F
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
               Dm7  F
This gun's for hire
                   Dm7            C   F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark


[Outro]
                   Dm7            C    F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
                   Dm7            C    F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
