E5             C5         G5             B5
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
    E5          C5             G5              B5
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
      E5                C5      G5             B5
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
        F5                  E5             A5
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
            E5        C5              G5         B5
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
        E5                       C5
And I believed for a moment that my chances
    G5                  B5
Were approaching to be grabbed
          E5         C5              G5     F5
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
  E5               A5                F5
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag


       G5            C5     F5           G5
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G5        C5         F5
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G5                 C5        F5        G5
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       E5                 A5             F5                G5    B5
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

E5          C5      G5
And I went crazy again today,
B5            E5                C5             G5          B5  E5
Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope
C5            G5              B5               F5
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine
      E5                A5
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
         E5              C5         G5                B5
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
E5             C5           G5           B5
Come on put a little love here in my void,'
              E5             C5
He said?'It's all in your head,'
                  G5                        F5
and I said, 'So's everything,' but he didn't get it
  E5               A5
I thought he was a man
           F5
But he was just a little boy

       G5            C5     F5           G5
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G5        C5         F5
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G5                 C5        F5        G5
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       E5                 A5             F5                G5
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
       C5                    F5           G5
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G5        C5         F5
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G5                 C5        F5        G5
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       E5                 A5                   F5                G5
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when, when it costs too much to love
           C5                    F5           G5
Oh, hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
          G5          C5         F5
Because I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G5                 C5        F5        G5
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       E5                 A5        F5                         G5
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works, when it costs too much to love
