G                Em      G
 I get up in the evening
                Em         G
and I ain't got nothing to say
                   Em
I come home in the morning
  G         Em               C
I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Am     C
I ain't nothing but tired
             Am                     G
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
          Em   G        Em                
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
 
[Refrain]

You can't start a fire
                                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am   C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
                   Em                G
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
                       Em
I check my look in the mirror
  G               Em                   C
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                    Am      C
Man I ain't getting nowhere
         Am                    G
I'm just living in a dump like this
                            Em        G
There's something happening somewhere
            Em              
baby I just know that there is
 
[Refrain]
 
    D
You can't start a fire
                                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             
even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Pont]
 
Em                      G
 You sit around getting older
C                        D                 Em
 there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
                             G
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
C                  D
 come on baby this laugh's on me
 
[Couplet]
 
G                           Em   G
Stay on the streets of this town
               Em               G
and they'll be carving you up alright
                        Em     G
They say you gotta stay hungry
              Em                    C
hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
                   Am    C
I'm dying for some action
                           Am                        G
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
                Em     G
I need a love reaction
                 Em             
come on now baby gimme just one look
 
[Refrain]
 
    D                                                      C
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
               Am   C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             D
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
This gun's for hire
                   Am             
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
[Outro]
 
G                  Em
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
