[VERSE 1]
I was sta[E]ring at the s[C]ky, just l[G]ooking for a[B7] star
'To pray on,[E] or wish on, or so[C]mething like t[G]hat [B7]
'I was having[E] a sweet fix of a[C] daydream of a b[G]oy [B7]
'Whose real[F7sus2]ity I knew, w[Em]as a hopeless to [A7]be had
'But then the dove of ho[E]pe began it[C]s downward slope [G] [B7]
[E] [C]'
And I believed for a moment that my chances'
Were[G] approaching to be grabbed [B7]
'But as it came do[E]wn near, so did a[C] weary tear [G] [F7sus2]
'I thou[Em]ght it was a b[A7]ird, but it was[F7sus2] just a paper bag'

[CHORUS]
Hunger hurt[G]s, and I want [C7]him so [F7sus2]bad, oh[G] it kills'
'Cause I kn[G]ow I'm a mess[C7] he don't wan[F7sus2]na clean up
'I got to fold[G] 'cause these hands[C7] are too shaky to h[F7sus2]old' [G]
[Em7] [A7] [F7sus2] (hold)
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

[VERSE 2]
'And I[E] went cra[C]zy agai[G]n tod[B7]ay,
looking f[E]or a strand to climb, l[C]ooking for a lit[G]tle hope' [B7]
Bab[E]y said he could[C]n't stay, wouldn[G]'t put his lips[B7] to mine
And a fai[F7sus2]l to kiss is[Em] a fa[A7]il to cope
I said, 'Honey[E] , I don't feel so goo[C]d, don't f[G]eel justified' [B7]
Come[E] on put a little love [C]here in my voi[G]d,' [B7]
He said''It's [E]all in your he[C]ad,' and I said, 'So[G]'s everything''But he did[F7sus2]n't get it
I [Em]thought he was a man
'But he was just a l[A7]ittle boy [F7sus2]
