D
27 years, 27 years old
                                              G
Only thing I know, the only thing that I get told
I gotta sell out if I want to get sold
D                           A
Don't want the devil to be taking my soul
D
I write songs that come from the heart
                                                     G
I don't give a fuck if they get in to the chart, or not
                                     D
Only way I can be, is to say what I see
And have no shadow hanging over me

Chorus:
          A
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
         G                               D
'Cause, running's the thing I've always done
         A
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
       G                          D  A
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

27 years, 27 years now
Only thing I know, I know that I don't know how
To please everybody all of the time
Cause everybody's always fucking changing their minds
A little bit faded, a little bit jaded
Don't want to stop, won't be persuaded
To write words I can't believe in
To see my face on a video screen

Chorus:
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
Cause, running's the thing I've always done
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

Bm
27 years, 27 years done
         D
Written 600 songs, only 12 get sung
 G
87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs and
D                            A
Every single day I wish I'd never smoked one

A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut
8 years sleeping, I'm still tired when I wake up
A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck
5 proper girlfriends and 5 messy breakups

Bm
27 birthdays, 27 new years
D
30,000 quid, just so I could have a few beers
Em
Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears
 A
Don't know where I'm going, but I know how I got here

Chorus:
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
Cause, running's the thing I've always done
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
Said I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
Cause, running's the thing I've always done
I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
