[Verse 1]
C5
  I get up in the evening
                  G/B        Am
And I ain't got nothing to say 
I come in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
F
 I ain't nothing but tired
                                    C5
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby,
         G/B                Gsus4
I could use just a little help   

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
                                F
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
                                    C5
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Verse 2]
C5
  Message keeps getting clearer
                     G/B                Am
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I want to change my hair, my clothes,
my face
F
 Man I ain't getting nowhere
Oh, I'm just living in a dump like this
C5
  There's something happening somewhere
      G/B                      Gsus4
Baby I   just know that there is    

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
                                F
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
                                    C5
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

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

[Verse 3]
C5
  Stay on the streets of this town
                 G/B
And they'll be carving you up alright
Am
  They say you gotta stay hungry
                                   F
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
C5
  I need a love reaction
                                     Gsus4
Come on baby, baby gimme just one look    

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
                                    F
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
                                    C5
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
                                    Am7 Gsus4 F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 

[Chorus]
Gsus4
     You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a
broken heart
F
 This gun's for hire
                                    Gsus4
Even if we're just dancing in the dark   

[Outro]
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world
         F
falling apart
This gun's for hire
                                  C5
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
