E                 Esus4       E
Dark in the city, night is a wire,
                         Esus4       E
steam in the subway, the earth is a-fire
       D
Do do doo do, do doo do,
                          E
do doo do, do doo do, do do do
E                  Esus4      E
Woman you want me, give me a sign
                             Esus4     E
and catch me breathing even closer be-hind
       D
Do do doo do, do doo do,
                          E
do doo do, do doo do, do do do

Chorus:
C                   G                 F
In touch with the ground, I'm on the hunt,
I'm after you
                C                     G
I smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd and
     F               D
I'm hungry like the wolf
              C                     G
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme,
            F
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
           C                      G
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine,
         F               D  Em7
and I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

Chorus

Em7
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
