Dancing in the Dark Chords & Lyrics

This song is about feeling unfulfilled and wanting change. The singer feels tired, bored with himself, and like he's "just living in a dump." He wants a "love reaction" to spark something new and end his stagnation. Repeatedly, the lyrics mention that "you can't start a fire without a spark," implying the singer is seeking something or someone to ignite passion and get him moving again.

Dancing In The Dark

Bruce Springsteen

Capo op 4 *

G Em G Em 2x

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
