C G D
[Verse 1]
G
27 years, 27 years old
C
Only thing I know, the only thing I get told
G
I gotta sell out if I want to get sold
D
Don't want the devil to be taking my soul
G
I write songs that come from my heart
C
I don't give a fuck if they get into the chart, oh no
G
Only way I can be, is to say what I see
And have the shadow hanging over me
[Chorus]
D
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
C G C G
'Cause, running's the thing I've always done
D
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
C G C G D
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
[Verse 2]
* ---> one open strum and then strum as muted
G* G* C*
27 years, 27 years now, only thing I know, I know that I don't know how
To please everybody all of the time
G* D
'Cause everybody always fucking changes their mind
G
A little bit jaded, a little bit faded
C
Don't want to stop, won't be persuaded
G
To write words I can't believe in, to see my face on a video screen
[Chorus]
D
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
C G C G
'Cause, running's the thing I've always done
D
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
C Em
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

Written 600 songs, only 12 get sung

87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs and

Every single day I wish I'd never smoked 1

A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut

G* D*
5 proper girlfriends and 5 messy breakups
C
27 birthdays, 27 new years
G
30,000 quid, just so I could have a few beers
C
Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears
D
Don't know where I'm going, but I know how I got here
[Chorus]

Don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

C* G
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
