Em (022000@1)                   CI (x32010@1)was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
      G (320003@1)        B7 (x21202@1)          
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
         Em (022000@1)                  CI (x32010@1)was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
         G (320003@1)                 B7Whose (x21202@1)reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
             Em (022000@1)                    CBut (x32010@1)then the dove of hope began its downward slope
      G (320003@1)                            
And I believed for a moment that my chances were
B7 (x21202@1)   
Approaching to be grabbed
           Em (022000@1)                    CBut (x32010@1)as it came down near, so did a weary tear
  G (320003@1)                               B7I (x21202@1)thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag


           G (320003@1)               EmHunger (022000@1)hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills

         G (320003@1)                         EmI (022000@1)got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       C (x32010@1)                                B7 (x21202@1)              G (320003@1)  B7Hunger (x21202@1)hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love


Em (022000@1)              C (x32010@1) And I went crazy again today,
              G (320003@1)                            B7 (x21202@1)         Emlooking (022000@1)for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope
             C (x32010@1)                             GBaby (320003@1)said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine
                        B7And (x21202@1)a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
        Em (022000@1)                    C (x32010@1)      
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified?
G (320003@1)                       B7Come (x21202@1)on put a little love here in my void,

But he didn't get it
