Dancing in the dark

1. I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say.
|C |C6 |C |C6 |F
I come home in the morning. I go to bed feeling the same way.
|Dm |F |Dm |C
I ain’t nothing but tired. Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself.

Refr. You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark.

This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark.
2. Message keeps getting clearer. Radio’s on and I’m moving around the place.
I check my look in the mirror. I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face.
Man, I ain’t getting nowhere just living in a dump like this.
There’s something happening somewhere, baby I just know where it is.
Refr.
|Am |C |F |G |Am
Break. You sit around getting older. There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me.
|C |F |G
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders. Come on baby the laugh’s on me.
3. Stay on the streets of this town and they’ll be carving you up all right.
They say got to 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 baby, gimme just one look.
Refr. You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark.
