verse 1 :

D
i get up in the evening and i ain’t got nothing to say
G
i come home in the morning i go to bed feeling the same way
D
i ain’t nothing but tired , man i’m just tired and bored with myself

hey there baby i could use just a little help

chorus :

A Asus4 A G
you can’t start a fire , you can’t start a fire without a spark
( occasional a cappella ) D
this gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark

verse 2 :

D
messages keep getting clearer , radio’s on and i’m moving ’round the place
G
i check my look in the mirror , wanna change my clothes , my hair , my face
D
man , i ain’t getting nowhere , i’m just living in a dump like this

there’s something happening somewhere baby i just know there is

chorus :

A Asus4 A G
you can’t start a fire , you can’t start a fire without a spark
D
this gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark

bridge :

Bm D G A Bm
you sit around getting older , there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
D G A
i’ll shake the world off my shoulders , come on baby the laugh’s on me

verse 3 :

D
stay on the streets of this town and they’ll be carving you up all right
G
they say you gotta stay hungry , hey baby i’m just about starving tonight

i’m dying for some action , i’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to
D
write this book

i need a love reaction , come on now baby gimme just one look

chorus :

A Asus4 A G
you can’t start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart

this gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
A Asus4 A G
you can’t start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
D
this gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
D
even if we’re just dancing in the dark ( x4 )
