[Verse]
G               Em     G      Em                   G
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
G                  Em     G            Em                 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   Em  G Em
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 2]
G                     Em     G                    Em                  G
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
G                       Em   G                            Em                      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  Em  G Em
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G  Em  G Em
[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                           Em  G               Em                     G
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
G                       Em    G                                        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 Em
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G                  Em              G    Em G  Em G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G                  Em              G    Em G  Em G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G                  Em              G    Em G  Em G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G                  Em              G    Em G  Em G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark...
