C
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say

                                                         F
I come home in the morning  I go to bed feeling the same way

                                                                   C
I ain't nothing but tired      Man I'm just tired and bored with myself

                                               G
Hey there Baby    I could use just a little help
(chorus):
G                                                       F
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

                 F                                       C
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 my place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my hair, my clothes, my face Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
C
There's something happening somewhere.

G                                                       F
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

                 F                                       C
This gun's for hire  even if we're just dancing in the dark

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

                 F                                         G
This gun's for hire   even if we're just dancing in the   dark

                                                                 F
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart

                     F                                   C
This gun's for hire   even if we're just dancing in the dark
Outro: play around with the riff that’s played throughout the song. It’s a little different at end.
