Capo IV *

[Intro]
G Em  G Em  2x

[Verse]
G               Em     G
I get up in the evening
                Em         G  
and I ain't got nothing to say
                   Em     
I come home in the morning
  G         Em               C  
I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Am   C
I ain't nothing but tired
              Am                     G   
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                 
You can't start a fire
                                 C    
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G   
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

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

[Chorus]
    D                 
You can't start a fire
                                 C    
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G   
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Bridge]
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

[Verse]
G                      Em       G
Stay on the streets of this town
               Em               G    
and they'll be carving you up alright
                        Em    G
They say you gotta stay hungry
              Em                    C    
Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
                   Am    C
I'm dying for some action
                           Am                        G   
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
                Em    G
I need a love reaction
                  Em             D   
Come on now baby, gimme just one look

[Chorus]
    D                                                      C    
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             D   
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
    D                                                            C   
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G   C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Outro]
                   Am             G   C   
Even if we're just dancing in the dark  x2
