VERSE I
[A]I get up in the evening, And I aint got nothing to say
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same [D]way
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[A]I ain't nothing but tired, Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there [F#m]baby, [A]I could [F#m]use just a little h[E]elp
CHORUS
[E]You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a [D]spark
This gun's for [Bm]hire, [D]even if we're just [Bm]dancing in the [A]dark
(Play MAIN RIFF once)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_springsteen/dancing_in_the_dark_tab.html )
VERSE II
[A]Messages keep getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my [D]face
Man I ain't getting [Bm]nowhere, [D]Just l[Bm]iving in a dump like t[A]his,
[A] [F#m] [A][F#m]
There's somet[E]hing happening somewhere, Baby I just know that there is
CHORUS
[E]You can't start a fire, You can't start a fire without a [D]spark
This gun's for [Bm]hire, [D]Even if we're just [Bm]dancing in the [A]dark
(Play MAIN RIFF twice)
BRIDGE
[F#m]You sit around getting [A]older
[D]There's a joke here some[E]where and it's on [F#m]me
[F#m]I'll shake this world off my [A]shoulders
[D]Come on baby the [E]laugh's on me
VERSE III
[A]Stay on the streets of this town, And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I'm just about starving [D]tonight
I'm dying for some [Bm]action, [D]I'm sick of sitting 'round[Bm] here trying to write
[A] [F#m] [A] [F#m]
this book[E], I need a love reaction, Come on baby gimme just one look
CHORUS
[E]You can't start a fire, Sitting around crying over a broken [D]heart
This gun's for [Bm]hire, [D]Even if we're just [Bm]dancing in the [E]dark
[E]You can't start a fire, Worrying about your little world falling [D]apart
This gun's for [Bm]hire, [D]Even if we're just [Bm]dancing in the [E]dark
ENDING
[A]Even if we're just dancing in the dark (repeat through the ending)
