Neil Sedaka - The Hungry Years (with lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
Girl, we made it to the top [Dm] We went so high we couldn't [A] stop
We [Dm] climbed the ladder leading [A] us nowhere Two [D] of us together
[Dm] Building castles [A] in the air
[Dm] [G]
[C] We spun so fast we couldn't [Fm] tell The gold ring from the [C] carousel
How could we [Fm] know the ride would [C] turn out bad?
[E]
[Am] Everything we wanted [C] was [D] everything [Dm] we [F] had
[G] I miss the [F] hungry years, the once [Fm] upon a time
[C] The lovely long ago we didn't [Am] have a [D] dime
Those [Dm] days of me and [C] you we [G] lost [C] along the way
How could I be [F] so blind not to [Fm] see the door
Closing [C] on the world I now [D] hunger for
Looking [F] through my tears [C] I [Fm] miss [G] the [C] hungry years
[Bm] [E]
[A] We shared our daydreams one by [Dm] one Making plans was so [A] much fun
We set our [Dm] goals and [A] reached the highest knob
Things that [D] we were after [B] were much [Dm] better [A] from afar
[Dm] [G]
[C] Here we stand just me and you [Fm] With everything and nothing too
[C] It wasn't [Fm] worth the price we [C] had to pay
[E] Honey [Am] take me home [C] Let's go [D] back to [F] yesterday
[G] I miss the [F] hungry years, the once [Fm] upon a time
The lovely [C] long ago we didn't [Am] have a [D] dime
Those [Dm] days of me and [C] you we [Fm] lost [C] along the way
[Am] [C] How could I be [F] so blind not to see [Fm] the door
Closing [C] on the world I now [Am] hunger for
[D] Looking [Dm] through my tears [C] I [Fm] miss [G] the [C] hungry years
[Fm] I miss [C] the hungry [Fm] years
