G               Em    G
I get up in the evening
                Em         G
and I ain't got nothing to say
                   Em
I come home in the morning
  G         Em               C
I go to bed feeling the same way
                    Am   C
I ain't nothing but tired
             Am                     G
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
          Em  G         Em                D
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

D             
You can't start a fire
                                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G
even if we're just dancing in the dark

G                     Em    G
Message keeps getting clearer
                   Em                G
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
                       Em
I check my look in the mirror
  G               Em                   C
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
                    Am    C
Man I ain't getting nowhere
         Am                    G
I'm just living in a dump like this
                            Em      G
There's something happening somewhere
            Em              D
baby I just know that there is

D             
You can't start a fire
                                 C
You can't start a fire without a spark
               Am  C
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Em                     G
You sit around getting older
C                       D                 Em
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
                             G
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
C                 D
come on baby this laugh's on me

G                           Em  G
Stay on the streets of this town
               Em               G
and they'll be carving you up alright
                        Em   G
They say you gotta stay hungry
              Em                    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
                Em    G
I need a love reaction
                 Em             D
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
This gun's for hire
                   Am             D
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
This gun's for hire
                   Am             G   C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
                   Am             G   C
Even if we're just dancing in the dark  2x

Hey baby

About this song: Dancing In The Dark

"Dancing in the Dark" is a 1984 song, written and performed by American rock singer Bruce Springsteen. According to the Dancing in the Dark Songfacts, Springsteen wrote this after his manager, Jon Landau, demanded a hit single from the album. After a brief altercation, he complied and wrote this that same night. Adding up-tempo synthesizer riffs and some syncopation to his sound for the first time, it became his biggest hit and, as the first single released from Born in the U.S.A., started it off to becoming the best-selling album of Springsteen's career.
