[E]
I was staring at [C] the sky, [G] just looking for [Bm] a star [E] to pray [C] on or wish [G] on or something [B] like that.
[E] I was having the [C] sweet face [G] of a daydream of a [D] boy [F] whose reality [Em] I knew [C#] was a hopeless
to be had.
But [E] then the dove [C] of hope [G] began its downward [D] slope and [E] I believed for a [C] moment that my
chances [G] would approach [B] him to be grailed.
But [E] as it came [C] down near, so [G] did a weary [F] tear.
[Em] I thought it [C#] was a bird but [Cm] it was just a paper bag.
[G] Hunger hurts [C] and I want him [F] so [G] bad, oh it kills.
Cause I know [Em] I'm a mess, he [F] don't wanna clean up.
I [G] got to fold cause [C] these hands are [F] too shaky [G] to hold.
[Em] Hunger hurts, [C#] starving works, [Cm] but it costs too much to [G] love.
[Bm]
[E] And I [C] went crazy [G] again today, [Bm] looking for a [E] strand to climb, [C] looking for [G] a little hope.
[B] [E] [C] Baby [G] said he couldn't [Bm] stay, wouldn't [Dm] put his [F] lips to [Em] mine or fail the kisses [A] or fail to cope.
I [E] said honey I [C] don't feel so [G] good, don't feel [Bm] justified.
[E] Come on [C] put a little [G] love here in [B] my void.
He [E] said it's all in your [C] head.
I said [G] so's everything but he [B] didn't get it.
[F] [C] I thought [Em] he [A] was a man but he was just a little boy.
[G] Hunger hurts [C] and I want him [F] so bad, [G] oh it kills.
Cause I know I'm [C] a mess, he [F] don't wanna clean up.
I [G] got to fold cause [Em] these hands are [F] too shaky [G] to hold.
[Em] Hunger hurts, starving [A] works, [F] but it costs [A] too much [G] to love.
[C] Hunger hurts, but I want [F] him so bad, [G] oh it kills.
