Tom: C
C Am7 C
I get up in the evening
Am7 C
And I ain't got nothing to say
Am7
I come home in the morning
C Am7 F
I go to bed feeling the same way
Dm7 F
I ain't nothing but tired
Dm7 C
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Am7 C Am7 G
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
G
You can't start a fire
F
You can't start a fire without a spark
Dm7 F
This gun's for hire
Dm7 C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Verse 2]
C Am7 C
Message keeps getting clearer
Am7 C
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
Am7
I check my look in the mirror
C Am7 F
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Dm7 F
Man I ain't getting nowhere
Dm7 C
I'm just living in a dump like this
Am7 C
There's something happening somewhere
Am7 G
Baby I just know that there is
[Chorus]
G
You can't start a fire
F
You can't start a fire without a spark
Dm7 F
This gun's for hire
Dm7 C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Bridge]
Am7 C
You sit around getting older
F G Am7
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
C
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
F G
Come on baby this laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
C Am7 C
Stay on the streets of this town
Am7 C
And they'll be carving you up alright
Am7 C
They say you gotta stay hungry
Am7 F
Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
Dm7 F
I'm dying for some action
Dm7 C
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
Am7 C
I need a love reaction
Am7 G
Come on now baby gimme just one look
[Chorus]
G F
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
Dm7 F
This gun's for hire
Dm7 G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
F
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
Dm7 F
This gun's for hire
Dm7 C F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Outro]
Dm7 C F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Dm7 C F
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
