Capo IV *
[Intro]
G Em G Em 2x
[Verse]
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 D
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
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 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse]
G Em G
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 D
Baby, I just know that there is
[Chorus]
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 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Bridge]
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, the laugh's on me
[Verse]
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 D
Come on now baby, gimme just one look
[Chorus]
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 G C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Outro]
Am G C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark x2
G
Hey baby
