Verse 1:

D
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
                                                         G
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
                                                                 D
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
           
Hey there baby I could use just a little help


Chorus:

A                 Asus4 A                                      G
  You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
                  (Occasional A cappella)                    D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

 Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place

I check my look in the mirror, wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                                                                D
Man, I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
        
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know there is


Chorus:

A                      Asus4 A                                 G
  You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
                                                          D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

  You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me

Verse 3:

D
  Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
                                                                      G
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about starving tonight

write this book

  You can't start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart

  You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
                                                           D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark   (x4)
