DANCING IN THE DARK G ~ ~ G 1. I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say, C I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way. Am C Am G I ain't nothing but tired, man, I'm just tired and bored with myself, hey there, baby, I could use just a little help. D 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. G 2. Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place. I check my look in the mirror, C I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face. Am C Am G Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this, there's something happening somewhere, baby, I just know there is. + CHORUS + G ~ ~ Em G You sit around getting older, C D there's a joke here somewhere, Em G and it's on me, I'll shake the world off my shoulders, C D come on baby the laugh's on me. G 3. Stay on the streets of this town, and they'll be carving you up all right. They say you gotta stay hungry, C hey, baby I'm just about starving tonight. Am C I'm dying for some action, Am G I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book. I need a love reaction. Come on, now baby, gimme just one look. D C You can't start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart, Am C Am D this gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark. C You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart, Am C Am G ~ this gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark. G ~ Even if we're just dancing in the dark. Even if we're just dancing in the dark ....
