Em C
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
G B7
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
Em C
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
G B7
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
Em C
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
G
And I believed for a moment that my chances were
B7
Approaching to be grabbed
Em C
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
G B7
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
G Em
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
C B7
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
G Em
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
C B7 G B7
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Em C
And I went crazy again today,
G B7 Em
looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope
C G
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine
B7
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
Em C
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified?
G B7
Come on put a little love here in my void,
Em C
He said, "It's all in your head," and I said, "So's everything,"
But he didn't get it
G
I thought he was a man
B7
But he was just a little boy
G Em
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
C B7
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
G Em
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
C B7
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs...
G
To much to love, oh hunger hurts
Em
But I want him so bad, oh it kills me
C Am
'Cause I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
G Em
I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
C
Oh hunger hurts but starving, it works
B7 G
When it costs to much to love
