G G6 G G6
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothin' to say

I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
Am7 C Am7 G
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Em G Em
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Interlude]
(G) G6 G G6

Message keeps getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
G G6 G G6 C
I check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Am7 C Am7 G
Man I ain't getting nowhere, I’m just living in a dump like this
Em G Em
There's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is

You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
Em G C D
I'll shake this world off my shoulders, come on baby the laughs on me
[Verse 3]
G G6 G G6
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
G G6 G G6 C
They say you got to stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
Am7 C Am7 G
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
Em G Em
I need a love reaction, come on now baby gimme me just one look
[Chorus]
D C
You can't start a fire, sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
Am7 C Am7 D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
C
You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
Am7 C Am7 G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Outro]
G6 G G6 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G6 G G6 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G6 G G6 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
G6 G G6 G
Hey baby
G6 G G6 G
