I've got a hunger

Twisting my stomach into knots

My brains repeating

If you've got an impulse let it out
D A Em G
But they never make it past my mouth

D A
Our youth is fleeting,
Em G
Old age is just around the bend.
D A Em G
And I can't wait to go gray.

And I'll sit and wonder
Em G
Of every love that could've been.

If I'd only thought of something charming to say.

I've got a hunger

Twisting my stomach into knots
