VERSE I
A
I get up in the evening, And I aint got nothing to say
                                                         D
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Bm     D            Bm                    
A
I ain't nothing but tired, Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
          F#m   A       F#m                E
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

CHORUS
E                                                        D
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
               Bm    D                  Bm             A
This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark

(Play MAIN RIFF once)

VERSE II
A
Messages keep getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
                                                                      D
I check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                    Bm       D     Bm                    A
Man I ain't getting nowhere, Just living in a dump like this,
A                           F#m        A    F#m      
             E
There's something happening somewhere, Baby I just know that there is

CHORUS
E                                                        D
You can't start a fire, You can't start a fire without a spark
               Bm    D                  Bm             A
This gun's for hire, Even if we're just dancing in the dark

(Play MAIN RIFF twice)

BRIDGE
F#m                    A
You sit around getting older
D                       E                 F#m
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
F#m                          A
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
D                E
Come on baby the laugh's on me

VERSE III
A
Stay on the streets of this town, And they'll be carving you up all right
                                                                  D
They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
                   Bm      D                         Bm
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
     A                   F#m       A       F#m       
         E
this book, I need a love reaction, Come on baby gimme just one look

CHORUS
E                                                           D
You can't start a fire, Sitting around crying over a broken heart
               Bm    D                  Bm             E
This gun's for hire, Even if we're just dancing in the dark
E                                                                D
You can't start a fire, Worrying about your little world falling apart
               Bm    D                  Bm             E
This gun's for hire, Even if we're just dancing in the dark

ENDING
A
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (repeat through the ending)
