[E] You know, Neil, I think I know why The Hungry Years was such a big hit.
Anyone that's ever become [N] a success can really identify with those words.
Well, I guess that's because you can't really enjoy success unless you've had to struggle and go through a few hungry years on your own.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Tell me, do you really miss The Hungry Years?
Do you want the truth?
Oh, yeah.
Not really.
[Bm] I don't either, but we can sing about it, huh?
Surely.
[A] Let's do it.
[Gm] [A]
[Dm] [A] Girl, we made it to the top
[Dm] We went so high we couldn't [A] stop
We [Dm] climbed the ladder leading us [A] nowhere
The [D] two of us together
[A] Building castles in the [Dm] air
[G] [C] Hung so fast we couldn't tell
The [Fm] gold ring from the [D] [C] carousel
How could we know the ride would turn out [E] bad?
[Am] Everything we wanted
[C]
[D] Was everything [F] we had
[G]
I miss [F] the hungry [C] years
The [Ab] once upon a time
[C] The love we longed for
We [D] didn't have a dime
[Dm] Those days of [Em] me and [F] you
We lost [C] along the way
[Gm]
I [F] feel I'd be so [Fm] blind
[Ab] Not to see the [C] door
Closing on the world [D]
before
[Dm] Looking through my [Em] [C] tears
[Fm] I miss [C] the hungry [Fm] years
I miss [C] the hungry [Fm] years
[C] I miss [D]
the [Fm] hungry [C] years
[Ab] [N]
