G               Em    G
1. 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 

   D
R: 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 

2. Message keeps getting clearer 
   radio's on and I'm moving 'round the 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 

R: You can't start a fire...

   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 this laugh's on me 

3. Stay on the streets of this town 
   and they'll be carving you up alright 
   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 'round here trying to write this book 
   I need a love reaction 
   come on now baby gimme just one look 

   D                                                          C
R: 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 

   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
 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark (3x) 

Hey baby
