Fiona Apple - "Paper Bag" live @ TheToday Show [with lyrics] chords
Start Jamming...
I was staring at the [C] sky, just looking [B] for a [Bm] star
To pray [C] on or wish [G] on or something [B] like that
I was having a [C] sweet fix [G] of a [B] daydream of a boy
[F] Whose reality [Em] I knew [A] was a hopeless newbie habit
[E] Then the dove [C] of hope [G] began this downward [B] slope
And [E] I believed for a [C] moment that my chances [G] were [B] approaching to be grabbed
[E] But as it came [C] down dear, so [G] did a weary [F] tear
[Em] I thought it [A] was a bird but [Cm] it was just a paper bag
[G] Hunger hurts [C] and I want it [Dm] so [G] bad
Oh it kills, cause I know [C] I'm a messy, [F] don't wanna clean up
I [G] got a soul [C] cause these hands [F] are too [G] shaky to hold
[Em] Hunger hurts but [A] starving works [Eb] when it [Cm]
costs too much [G] to love
[Bm]
[E] And I [C] went crazy [G]
again [Bm] today, looking [E] for a strand to [C] climb
Looking for [G] a little hope
[B] [E] [C] Baby [G] said he couldn't [Bm] say he wouldn't [F] put his lips to [Em] mine
And I failed, but [A] just as I failed to cope
I [E] said honey [C] I don't feel so [G] good, don't [Bm] feel justified
[E] Come on [C] put a little [G] love in [B] my voice
[E] He said it's all in your [C] head
And I [G] said so's everything, [F] but he didn't get it
[C] I thought he [A] was a man but [Cm] he was just a little boy
[G] Hunger hurts [C] and I want it [F] so [G] bad
Oh it kills, cause I know [C] I'm a messy, [F] don't wanna clean up
I [G] got a soul [C] cause these hands [F] are too [G] shaky to hold
[Em] Hunger hurts but [A] starving [Cm] works when it costs, when it costs too [G] much to love
[C] Hunger hurts and [F] I want it so bad
[G] Oh it kills, cause I know [C] I'm a messy, [F] don't wanna clean up
[G] I got a soul [C] cause these hands are [F] too [G] shaky to hold
[Em] Hunger hurts but [A] starving works [Cm] when it costs too [G] much to love
[C] Hunger hurts but I [F] want it so bad
Oh it [G] kills, cause I know [C] I'm a messy, [F] don't wanna clean up
I got [G] a soul cause [C] these hands are [F] too shaky [G] to hold
[Em] Hunger hurts but [A] starving works [Cm] when it costs too much to [G]
love
[C] [F] Happy [G]
[C] [B] [G]
[C] [F] [Em]
[A] [Cm]
[G]
Birthday Daddy!
