Dancing In The Dark (Originally Performed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I get up in
[Em]the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
[G]Come home in the morning
[Em]Go to bed feeling the same way
[C]I ain't nothing but tired

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Man, I'm just tired and bored
with my[G]self
[Em]Hey, baby
I could use just a little help
[D]You can't start

[Verse 3]
a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
[C]This gun's for hire
[Am]Even [C]if [Am]we're just dancing
in the [G]dark

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Em]
[G]Message just keeps getting clearer

[Verse 4]
[Em]Radio's on and I'm moving
'round the place
[G]I check my look in the mirror
[Em]Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
[C]Man, I ain't getting

[Verse 5]
[C]nowhere
[Am]
I'm just living in a dump like this
[G]There's something happening
[Em]somewhere
Baby, I just know that there [G]is
[D]

[Verse 6]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
[C]This gun's for hire
[Am]Even if we're just dancing
in [G]the dark

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 7]
You sit around, getting [G]older
[C]There's a joke here some[Am]where,
and it's on me
[Em]I'll shake this world off [G]my shoulders
[C]Come on, baby, the[D] laugh's on me
[G]Stay

[Verse 8]
on the streets of this
[Em]town
And they'll be carving you up all [G]right
They say you gotta stay hungry
[Em]Hey, baby,
I'm just about starving tonight
[C]I'm dying for some action

[Verse 9]
[Am]I'm sick of sitting 'round
here trying to write this book
[G]I need a love reaction
[Em]Come on now, baby,
gimme just [D]one look

[Verse 10]
You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round, crying over a broken heart
[C]This gun's for[Am] hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[D]

[Verse 11]
You can't start a fire
Worrying about your little
world falling [C]apart
This gun's for hire
[Am]Even if we're just dancing in the [G]dark

[Verse 12]
Even if [G]we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
