F#
I've got a hunger
G#m           B
Twisting my stomach into knots
F#                      G#m B
That my tongue has tied off

My brain's repeating,
"If you've got an impulse, let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth

Chorus:
F#
Bap ba, Bop ba
C#           B
This is the sound of settling
F#        C# B
Bop ba, bob pa - x2

Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go grey

And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say

Chorus - x4

I've got a hunger
twisting my stomach into knots
