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

87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs and

G*                                         D*
Every single day I wish I'd never smoked 1

Em*                                                   (D)*

Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears

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

                                          G       C G
'Cause, running's the thing I've always done

              D*
Said I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done

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