VERSE 1:
I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say.
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same
[F] way
I ain't nothing but
[Dm] tired,
[F] man I'm just
[Dm] tired and
bored with myself
[*INTRO] hey there baby I could use just a little help
CHORUS 1:
[G] You can't start a
[C] fire
[G]
You can't start a
[C] fire with-
[G] -out a
[F] spark
This gun's for
[Dm] hire
[F]
Even if we're just
[Dm] dancing in the
[*INTRO] dark
VERSE 2:
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place.
I check my look in the mirror; I wanna change my
[F] clothes, my hair; my face.
Man I ain't getting
[Dm] nowhere,
[F] I'm just living in a
[Dm] dump like this,
There's something
[*INTRO] happening somewhere, baby I just know there is
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
[Am] You sit around getting
[C] older,
[F] there's a joke here some-
[G] -where and it's on
[Am] me.
I'll shake the world off my
[C] shoulders,
[F] come on baby the
[G] laugh's on me
VERSE 3:
Stay on the streets of this town, and they'll be carving you up all right.
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about
[F] starving tonight
I'm dying for some
[Dm] action, I'm
[F] sick of sitting 'round here trying to
[Dm] write this book.
I need a love
[*INTRO] reaction, Come on now baby gimme just one look
CHORUS 2:
[G] You can't start a
[C] fire
[G]
Sitting round
[C] crying over a
[G] broken
[F] heart
This gun's for
[Dm] hire
[F]
Even if we're just
[Dm] dancing in the
[*INTRO] dark
CHORUS 3:
[G] You can't start a
[C] fire
[G]
Worrying about your
[C] little world
[G] falling a
[F] part
This gun's for
[Dm] hire
[F]
Even if we're just
[Dm] dancing in the
[*INTRO] dark
OUTRO:
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
