G   Em    G   Em   G
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 way
Am   C   Am   G
I ain't nothing but tired   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     C
You can't start a fire, You can't start a fire without a spark
Am   C    Am   G
This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark


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


[Chorus]
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


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 starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look


[Chorus Different Words]
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
You can't start a fire
Worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark


Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby
