[B] [G#m] [B] [C#]
[B] [C#]
[B] I get up in the evening, then I ain't got nothing to say.
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the [E] same way.
I ain't nothing but tired.
Man, I'm [C#m] just tired and bored [B] with myself.
[G#m] Hey there, baby, [B] [G#m] I could use just a little [F#] help.
You can't [F#] start a fire, you can't start a fire without [E] a spark.
This gun's for hire, even if [C#m] we're just dancing [B] in the dark.
[G#m] [B]
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on [G#m] and I'm moving round.
[B] I'm on my way, I check my look in the mirror.
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, [E] my face, and I ain't [C#m] getting nowhere.
[E] I [C#m] just live in a dump [B] like this, there's something [G#m] happening somewhere.
[B] [G#m] Baby, I just know [F#] that there is.
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without [E] a spark.
This gun's for hire, even if [C#m] we're just dancing [B] in the dark.
[G#m] [B]
[G#m] You sit around [B] getting older, [E] there's a joke, [F#] here's some wine, it's [G#m] on me.
I shake this world [B] off my shoulders, [E] come on baby, [F#] the laughs on me.
[B] Stay in the [G#m] streets in this town, [B] then they'll [G#m] be carving you up [B] alright.
You say you gotta [G#m] stay hungry, [C#] [B] hey baby, I'm just a bastard.
[E] Tonight I'm dying for [C#m] some action.
[E] I'm sitting [C#m] around here trying to write [B] this book, I need a little [G#m] action.
[B] Come on [G#m] baby, give me just [F#] one look, you can't start a fire.
Sitting around crying over a [E] broken heart.
This gun's for hire, even if [C#m] we're just dancing in [F#] the dark.
You can't start a fire, when it's got your little world [E] falling apart.
This gun's for hire, even if [C#m] we're just dancing [B] in the dark.
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
[G#m] [B] Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Hey baby!
[E] [B]
