[Verse]
G
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
C
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
Am C Am G
I ain't nothing but tired, 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 C
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
Am C Am G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 2]
G
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
C
I check my look in the mirror (mirror) I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
C Am C Am G
Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
Em G Em D
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know there is
[Chorus]
D C
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
Am C Am G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Bridge]
Em G C D Em
You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
G C D
I'll shake the world off my shoulders, come on baby the laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
G
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
C
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
C Am C Am G
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
Em G Em D
I need a love reaction, 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 Am
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
D C
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
Am C Am G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (x4)
