Intro:

G Em G Em 2x

Verse:

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

Chorus:

D
You can't start a fire
                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
        Am  C
This gun's for hire
          Am       G
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Verse:

G           Em   G
Message keeps getting clearer
          Em        G
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
            Em
I check my look in the mirror
 G        Em          C
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
          Am  C
Man I ain't getting nowhere
     Am          G
I'm just living in a dump like this
              Em    G
There's something happening somewhere
      Em       D
baby I just know that there is

Chorus:

D
You can't start a fire
                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
        Am C
This gun's for hire
          Am       G
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Bridge:

Em           G
You sit around getting older
C            D         Em
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
               G
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
C         D
come on baby this laugh's on me

Verse:

G              Em  G
Stay on the streets of this town
        Em        G
and they'll be carving you up alright
            Em  G
They say you gotta stay hungry
       Em          C
hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
          Am  C
I'm dying for some action
              Am            G
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
        Em  G
I need a love reaction
         Em       D
come on now baby gimme just one look

Chorus:

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