INTRO: [B5] [Bsus2] [B] [B5] [Bsus2] [B] [Bsus2] [B5] : [x3]

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 [E] way
I ain't nothing but [C#m] tired, [E] man I'm just [C#m] tired and
bored with myself [*INTRO] hey there baby I could use just a little help

CHORUS 1:
[F#] You can't start a [B] fire [F#]
You can't start a [B] fire with-[F#] -out a [E] spark
This gun's for [C#m] hire [E]
Even if we're just [C#m] 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 [E] clothes, my hair; my face.
Man I ain't getting [C#m] nowhere, [E] I'm just living in a [C#m] dump like this,
There's something [*INTRO] happening somewhere, baby I just know there is

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[Abm] You sit around getting [B] older,
[E] there's a joke here some-[F#] -where and it's on [Abm] me.
I'll shake the world off my [B] shoulders,
[E] come on baby the [F#] 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 [E] starving tonight
I'm dying for some [C#m] action, I'm [E] sick of sitting 'round here trying to [C#m] write this book.
I need a love [*INTRO] reaction, Come on now baby gimme just one look

CHORUS 2:
[F#] You can't start a [B] fire [F#]
Sitting round [B] crying over a [F#] broken [E] heart
This gun's for [C#m] hire [E]
Even if we're just [C#m] dancing in the [*INTRO] dark

CHORUS 3:
[F#] You can't start a [B] fire [F#]
Worrying about your [B] little world [F#] falling a [E] part
This gun's for [C#m] hire [E]
Even if we're just [C#m] dancing in the [*INTRO] dark

OUTRO:
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
