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

Outro:

                   Am             G   C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark  x2

Hey baby
