I was E (I) staring at the sky [C] Just [G] looking for a star B7 (V7)
To E (I) pray on or [C] wish on Or [G] something like that B7 (V7)
I was E (I) having a sweet fix [C] Of a [G] daydream of a boy B7 (V7)
Whose [F7] reality, I knew, was a e (i) hopeless to be A7 (IV7) had
But then the E (I) dove of [C] hope began its [G] downward slope B7 (V7)
And I E (I) believed for a moment that my [C] chances were
Ap- [G] proaching to be grabbed B7 (V7) But as it E (I) came down [C] near
So did a [G] weary tear [F7] I e (i) thought it was a A7 (IV7)bird
But it was [F7] just a paper bag
Chorus:
Hunger [G] hurts, And I [C] want him so [F7] bad, oh it [G] kills
'Cause I [G] know I'm a [C] mess he don't [F7] wanna clean up
I got to [G] fold 'cause these [C] hands are too [F7] shaky to [G] hold
Hunger e (i) hurts but starvin' A7 (IV7) works
When it [F7] costs too much to [G] love B7 (V7)
E (I) And I went [C] crazy a- [G] gain today B7 (V7) looking for a
E (I) strand to climb [C] looking for a [G] little hope B7 (V7)
E (I) [C] Baby said he [G] couldn't stay
B7 (V7) Wouldn't put his [F7] lips to mine A e (i) fail to kiss is a A7 (IV7) fail to cope

I said, E (I) "Honey, I don't [C] feel so good, [G]
Don't feel B7 (V7) justified. E (I) Come on put a [C] little love
[G] here in my void" B7 (V7) He said "It's E (I) all in your [C] head"
And I said "So's [G] everything" But he didn't [F7] get it
I e (i) thought he was a A7 (IV7) man
But he was [F7] just a little boy
