[Verse 1]
Bb      F     Gm       F
Morning light meet the day
      Dm    C        B
Nervous eyes     look both ways
                  F       Bb        F
And it just won't matter, spring or fall
                 Dm   F                Bb
There's bread to win      and shots to call
          Eb               Bb
And there ain't nobody out there
                         F
Just a wild uncertainty
Dm                     Am       F        Eb
    It's in your stride  but it ain't no fun
 
[ Chorus 1 ]
            F           Dm     F Fm  Gm
Sometimes I   feel just like a hired gun
      F            Dm   F     G
Yeah I feel just like a hired gun
N.C
Always on the run
 
[ Verse 2 ]
    Bb      F                Gm      F
And how it started, well you can't recall
            Dm        C             Bb
Did someone push you,   did someone stall
             F             Bb          F
Whatever the reasons there was lots to learn
            Dm     C               Bb
To get home safely     and not get burned
         Eb              Bb
And it's all so cold and empty
       F
As you watch the setting sun
Dm                         Am
    You've picked up every dirty trick
        Eb
Just to keep yourself always on the run
 
[ Chorus 2 ]
      F         Dm     Am    Gm
And I feel just like a hired gun
      F         Dm     Am    Gm
Yea I feel just like a hired gun
N.C.
Always on the run

[ Verse 3 ]
F
I dream of comfort and friendship long
               Dm    C      B
But I can't trust you or anyone
               F                    Bb       F
The scars still hurt me and I don't let them heal
            Dm      C             Bb
Each one's a lesson,  each one's a  shield
          Eb              Bb
And I may even love you dearly
      F                     Bb
And I loathe what I have to do
       Dm                           Am
You see  I've picked up every dirty trick
      Eb
In my fear of you
 
[ Chorus 3 ]
                 F        Dm      F     Gm
'Cos you make me feel just like a hired gun
     F           Dm     F     G
Yeah I feel just like a hired gun
N.C
Always on the run
