BB        F#F#
Then I became a singer
   C# minorC#m       E MajorE
It's strange to think about
                BB
I wanted to be heard, when you get down to it
   F#F#        E MajorE
There ain't no money in that
BB        F#F#
Then I became a stranger
C#m7C#m7       E MajorE
Living with this gun
           BB
I was afraid I would never grow old
   F#F#      E MajorE
Temptation wore me down

F#F#

🎸 Chorus:
       BB
Watching the wires
    F#F#
Setting fires
 C#m7C#m7
I hate to run, but
       E MajorE
I'm a gun for hire
        BB
Gimme one good reason
        F#F#
"Do it for the feeling"
 C#m7C#m7
I know what you say, but
           E MajorE
I had to learn it the hard way

Oh, the running was murder

Baby, they were right
            BB
I drew a card that was full of swords
    F#F#        E MajorE
I never said I loved the light
BB         F#F#
So I did run like a river
C# minorC#m          E MajorE
Either that or blow my mind
             BB
Momma was afraid I would never grow old
F# minorF#m         E MajorE
I was afraid that I might

F#F#

I'm a gun for hire
        BB
Gimme one good reason

"Do it for the feeling"
 C#m7C#m7
I know what you say, but
           E MajorE
I had to learn it the hard way
