Verse 1:
D
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
G
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
D
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby I could use just a little help
Chorus:
A Asus4 A G
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
(Occasional A cappella) D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Verse 2:
D
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
G
I check my look in the mirror, wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
D
Man, I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know there is
Chorus:
A Asus4 A G
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Bridge:
Bm D G A Bm
You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
D G A
I'll shake the world off my shoulders, come on baby the laugh's on me
Verse 3:
D
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
G
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to
D
write this book
I need a love reaction, come on now baby gimme just one look
Chorus:
A Asus4 A G
You can't start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
A Asus4 A G
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (x4)
