I come home in the morning

E             
You can't start a fire
                                 D
You can't start a fire without a spark

and they'll be carving you up alright
                        Gbm   A
They say you gotta stay hungry
              Gbm                    D

                   Bm    D
I'm dying for some action
                           Bm                        A
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
               Bm  D
This gun's for hire
                   Bm             E

You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
               Bm  D
This gun's for hire
                   Bm             A   D
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
                   Bm             A   D

Biography

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed “The Boss,” is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.

Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.
