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

Even if we're just dancing in the dark (repeat through the ending)

Thank you SO much for the ukulele version of the riff! Also, I always put a capo on the second fret and play these chords for the original key :)
