[B] [C#] [G#m] [B] [C#] [B]
[C#] [B]
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 [E] the same way.
I ain't nothing but tired.
Man, I'm just [C#m] tired and [B] bored with myself.
[G#m] Hey, baby, [B] I [G#m] could use just [F#] a little help.
You [B] can't start [F#] a fire.
You can't start a fire [E] without a spark.
[C#m] This gun's for [E] hire.
[C#m] You better put your dancing [B] in the dark.
[C#] [G#m] [B]
Messages keep getting clearer.
[G#m] Radio's on and I'm moving [B] round my place.
I keep my look in the mirror.
I wanna [G#m] change my clothes, my [E] hair, my face.
[C#m] Man, I ain't getting nowhere.
[E] [C#m] I'm just living in a [B] dark like this.
There's [G#m] something happening somewhere.
[B] [G#m] Baby, I just [F#] know that there is.
You can't start a fire.
You can't start a fire [E] without a spark.
This gun's for hire.
You [C#m] better put your dancing [B] in the dark.
[E] [G#m] [B] [C#] [B]
[G#m] [B] [G#m]
You sit [B] around getting older.
[E] There's a [F#] joke, it's wiring, [G#m] it's on me.
I shake [B] this world off my shoulders.
[E] Come [F#] on, baby, the laughs on [B] me.
Stay in [G#m] the streets this time.
[B] [G#m] Then they'll be carving you [B] up alright.
They say [G#m] you gotta stay hungry.
[B] Hey, baby, I'm just a [E] five star night.
I'm [C#m] going for some action.
[E] I'm sitting [C#m] around here trying to [B] write this book.
I need [G#m] a love reaction.
[B] Come [G#m] on, baby, give me [F#] just one look.
You can't start a fire.
Sitting around crying over [E] a broken heart.
This gun's for hire.
Even [C#m] if you're dancing [F#] in the dark.
You can't start a fire.
Worrying about your little world [E] falling apart.
This gun's for hire.
[C#m] Even if you're dancing [B] in the dark.
Dancing in the dark.
[G#m] [B] Dancing in the dark.
[G#m] [B] [G#m] [B]
