Nicole Atkins - Dancing in the Dark (Official Audio) chords
Start Jamming...
[F#]
[D#]
[F#] I get up in the evening [D#m] and I ain't got nothing [F#m] to say
Come home in the morning, [D#m] go to bed feeling the [B] same way
I ain't nothing but tired, just tired and bored with [F#m] myself
Hey man,
[F#] [D#m] I could use just a little [C#] help
Can't start a fire, can't start a fire without [B] a spark
This gun is for hire, even if we're just dancing in [F#] the dark
[D#]
[F#]
[D#]
[F#] Message keeps getting clearer, [D#m] radio's on
And I'm moving around the [F#] place, take a look in the mirror
I [D#m] wanna change my clothes, my hair, my [B] face, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like [F#] this
There's something happening somewhere
[D#m] I just know that [C#] there is
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a [B] spark
This gun is for hire, even if we're just dancing [B] in [F#] the dark
[D#m] Even if we're just dancing
[F#]
[D#m] Even if we're just dancing
[B] You sit around getting older, [D#m] there's a joke here, it's on [B] me
Shake this world off my shoulder
[C#] Come on man, [G#m] this laugh's on me
[F#] Stay on the streets of this town
[D#m] They'll be carving you up [F#] alright, you see you gotta stay hungry
[D#m] Man, I'm just about starving [B] tonight, dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting here trying to write this [F#] book, I need a love reaction
[D#m] Come on, give me just one [C#] love
You can't start a fire, sitting around crying about a broken [B] heart
This gun is for hire, even if we're just dancing in the [C#] dark
You can't start a fire, worried that your little world's falling [B] apart
This gun is for hire, even if we're just dancing in the [F#] dark
[D#m] Even if we're just dancing in the [F#] dark
[D#m] Even if we're [D#] just dancing in [F#] the dark
[D#] Even if we're just dancing in the [F#] dark
[D#m] [D#]
[F#]
