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 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
