[Verse 1]
C
I get up in the evenin’
C
And I ain’t got nothin’ to say
C
I come home in the mornin’
C
I go to bed feelin’ the same way
F Dm
I ain’t nothin’ but tired
F Dm
Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
C Am C Am
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help

[Chorus]
G
You can’t start a fire
G
You can’t start a fire without a spark
F Dm
This gun’s for hire
F Dm
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark

[Verse 2]
C
Messages keeps gettin’ clearer
C
Radio’s on and I’m movin’ ‘round my place
C
I check my look in the mirror
C
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
F Dm
Man, I ain’t gettin’ nowhere
F Dm
I’m just livin’ in a dump like this
C Am
There’s somethin’ happenin’ somewhere
C Am
Baby, I just know that there is

[Chorus]

G
You can’t start a fire
G
You can’t start a fire without a spark
F Dm
This gun’s for hire
F Dm
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark

[Bridge]
Am C
You sit around gettin’ older
F G
There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
Am C
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
F G
Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me

[Verse]
C Am
Stay on the streets of this town
C Am
And they’ll be carvin’ you up alright
C Am
They say you gotta stay hungry
C Am
Hey baby, I’m just about starvin’ tonight
F Dm
I’m dyin’ for some action
F Dm
I’m sick of sittin’ ‘round here tryin’ to write this book
C Am
I need a love reaction
C Am
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

[Outro]
G
You can’t start a fire
G
Sittin’ ‘round cryin’ over a broken heart
F Dm
This gun’s for hire
F Dm
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
G
You can’t start a fire
G
Worryin’ about your little world fallin’ apart
F Dm
This gun’s for hire
F Dm
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
C
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
C
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
C
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
