Paper Bag


Verse 1: E C G B7 I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star E C G B7 ?To pray on, or wish on, or something like that E C G B7 ?I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy F7sus2 Em A7 ?Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had E C G B7 ?But then the dove of hope began its downward slope E C? And I believed for a moment that my chances? G B7 Were approaching to be grabbed E C G F7sus2 ?But as it came down near, so did a weary tear Em A7 F7sus2 ?I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag? Chorus: G C7 F7sus2 G Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills? G C7 F7sus2 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up G C7 F7sus2 G ?I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold? Em7 A7 F7sus2 (hold) Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love Verse 2: E C G B7 ?And I went crazy again today, E C G B7 looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope? E C G B7 Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine F7sus2 Em A7 And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope E C G B7 I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified? E C G B7 Come on put a little love here in my void,' E C G F7sus2 He said?'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything'?But he didn't get it Em I thought he was a man A7 F7sus2 ?But he was just a little boy Repeat Chorus 2x
