DANCING IN THE DARK
Tegan and Sara
This sounds fine with bar chords or open. Use whichever sounds best to you.
Here’s the riff used in the intro and throughout the song. It’s a little tricky using
chords but when you get it, it sounds great!!

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
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
(chorus):
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round my place
I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my hair, my clothes, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere.
something happening somewhere
something happening somewhere
something happening somewhere
(chorus):
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
(riff)
Build.. on D
You can't start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Outro:
play around with the riff that’s played throughout the song. It’s a little different at
end.
