[Verse 1]
C G C
I get up in the evening and I don't have nothing to say
C F
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
F C
I ain't nothing but tired, I'm just tired and bored of myself
C
Hey baby I could use just a little help
[Chorus]
G C G F
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
C
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Instrumental]
(repeat Intro)
[Verse 2]
C G C
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
C F
I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
F C
I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
C
There's something happening somewhere oh and I just don't know where it is
[Chorus]
G C G F
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
C
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
Am C F G
You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
Am C F G
Take the words off my shoulders, come on baby the laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
C G C
Stay on the streets in this town and they'll be carving you up all right
C F
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey well I'm just about starving tonight
F C
I'm dying for some action, I'm tired of sitting 'round just trying to write this book
C
I need a love reaction, come on baby gimme just one look
[Chorus]
G C G F
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G C G F
You can't start a fire sitting round and crying about a broken heart
C
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (x4)
