[Intro 1]
[D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Twenty seven years,
twenty seven years old
Only thing I know, the only thing that gets old
[G]I gotta sell out if I want to get sol[D]d
Don't want the devil to [A]be taking my soul
[D]I write songs that come from the heart
I don't give a fuck if they get into the chart,
oh [G]no
Only way I can be, is to say what I see
[D]And have my shadow
hanging over me

[Verse 2]
[A]I don't know where I'm running,
but I know how to run
[G]'Cause running's the
thing I've always [D]done
Oh I [A]don't know what I'm doing,
but I know what I've done
I'm a [G]hungry heart,

[Interlude 1]
I'm a loaded gun
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Twenty seven years,
twenty seven years now
Only thing I know
I know that I don't know [G]how
To please everybody all of the time,
'Cause [D]everybody's always
fucking [A]changing their minds
[D]A little bit faded
A little bit jaded
Not gonna stop and I won't be persuaded
[G]To write words I can't believe in
[D]To see my face on a video screen

[Verse 4]
I [A]don't know where I'm running,
but I know how to run
[G]'Cause running's the
thing I've always [D]done
Oh I [A]don't know what I'm doing,
but I know what I've done
I'm [G]a hungry heart,

[Interlude 2]
I'm a loaded gun
[Bm][D][G]
[D][A][Bm][A][D][G]
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Twenty seven years,
twenty [D]seven years done
[A]Wri[D]tten six hundred songs,
only twelve get sung
Eighty [G]seven thousand cigarettes
have passed through these lungs
And [D]every single day I wish
I'd [A]never smoked one
A [Bm]week brushing my teeth and a week
[A]getting my haircut
Eight [D]years sleeping,
I'm still tired when I wake up
A [G]whole year eating and I still
lost weight, fuck
[D]Five proper girlfriends and
[A]five messy break[G]ups
Twenty seven birthdays,
twenty seven New Years
[D]Thirty thousand quid just so I could
have a few beers
[Em]Ever dying old hopes
Ever growing new fears
Don't [A]know where I'm going
but I know how I got here

[Verse 6]
I [G]don't know where I'm running,
but I know how to run
'Cause running's the thing
I've always done, [D]oh
Oh I don't [A]know what I'm doing,
but I know what I've done
I'm a [G]hungry heart,
I'm a loaded gun, oh
[D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Said I don't [A]know where I'm running,
but I know how to run
[G]'Cause running's the thing
I've always done, [D]oh
Oh, I don't [A]know what I'm doing,
but I know what I've done
I'm a [G]hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun, oh
[D]
