DANCING IN THE DARK (Listen to midi)   (sample)

                        

    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 ....
