B I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning E I go to bed feeling the same way C#m I ain't nothing but tired, E C#m B man I'm just tired and bored with myself G#m B Hey there baby G#m F# I could use just a little help Chorus: F# You can't start a fire, E you can't start a fire without a spark C#m E This gun's for hire even C#m B if we're just dancing in the dark Messages keep getting clearer Radio's on, and I'm moving 'round my place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere Baby, I just know that there is Chorus G#m B You sit around getting older, E F# G#m there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me B E I'll shake the world off my shoulders, F# come on baby the laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up all right They say, "You gotta stay hungry" Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting around here trying to write this book I need a love reaction Come on now, baby, give me just one look Chorus: You can't start a fire Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire Worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey, baby You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB  C#m  E  F#  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
