[Verse 1]
G                  Em    G            Em             G
  I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
                   Em      G        Em                   C
I come home in the morning  I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Em     C                Am                   G
I ain't nothing but tired    Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
          Em   G              Am                D
Hey there baby    I could use just a little help
 
 
[Chorus]
D                      C                  Em             C
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C                    Am             G
This gun's for hire  even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                      Em      G                   Em               G
 Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
                       Em     G                  Em                   C
I check my look in the mirror  I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                    Em      C         Am                    G
Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
                            Em       G      Am                  D
There's something happening somewhere  baby I just know there is
 
 
[Chorus]
D                       C                  Em             C
 You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C                    Am             G
This gun's for hire  even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                        G
  You sit around getting older
C                       D                   Em
  There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
                                 G       C
  I'll shake the world off my shoulders
          D
  Come on baby the laugh's on me
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                       Em       G               Em                 G
 Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
                        Em     G              Em                    G
They say you gotta stay hungry - hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
                   Em     C             Am                                       G
I'm dying for some action,  I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
                 Em    G             Am                       D
I need a love reaction.  Come on now baby gimme just one look
 
 
[Chorus]
D                      C              Em                   C
You can't start a fire  sitting round crying over a broken heart
               Em    C                   Am                  D
This gun's for hire   even if we're just dancing in the dark
                       C                    Em                    C
You can't start a fire  worrying about your little world falling apart
               Em   C                     Am            G
This gun's for hire   even if we're just dancing in the dark
 
 
[Outro]
C                    Am             G
  Even if we're just dancing in the dark
C                    Am             G
  Even if we're just dancing in the dark
C                    Am             G
  Even if we're just dancing in the dark
C                    Am             G
  Even if we're just dancing in the dark

I play it like this but I put my capo on the 2nd fret. Actually I have two ukes so I tuned one two steps up. That works perfectly and u don't have to use a capo that harms the open and full sound. Enjoy
