[Verse]
G
27 years, 27 years old
Cadd9
Only thing I know, the only thing that I get told
I gotta sell out if I want to get sold
G D
Don't want the devil to be taking my soul
G
I write songs that come from the heart
Cadd9
I don't give a fuck if they get in to the chart, or not
Only way I can be, is to say what I see
G
And have no shadow hanging over me
[Chorus]
D
I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
C G Cadd9 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 Cadd9 G D
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
[Verse]
G
27 years, 27 years now,
Cadd9
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 changing their mind
G
A little bit faded and a little bit jaded
C
Not gonna stop and I won't be persuaded
To write words I can't believe in,
G
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 Cadd9 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
I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
[Bridge]

Em
27 years, 27 years done
G
Written 600 songs, only 12 get sung
C
87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs and
G D
Every single day I wish I'd never smoked one
Em D/F#
A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut
G
8 years sleeping, I'm still tired when I wake up
C
A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck
G D
5 proper girlfriends and 5 messy breakups
Em
27 birthdays, 27 new years
G
30,000 quid, just so I could have a few beers
Am
Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears
D
Don't know where I'm going, but I know how I got here
[Chorus]
C
Don't know where I'm running but I know how to run
G Cadd9G
