[Strophe]
       E             C         G             B7 
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star 
    E          C             G              B7 
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that 
      E                C      G             B7 
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy 
        F7                  Em             A7 
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had 
            E        C              G         B7 
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope 
        E                       C 
And I believed for a moment that my chances 
    G                  B7 
Were approaching to be grabbed 
          E         C              G     F7 
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear 
  Em               A7                F7 
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
[Refrain]
       G            Cmaj7     F7           G 
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 
           G        Cmaj7         F7 
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up 
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G 
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold 
       Em7                 A7             F7                G    B7 
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
[Strophe]
E          C      G 
And I went crazy again today, 
B7            E                C             G          B7  E 
Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope 
C            G              B7               F7 
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine 
      Em                A7 
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope 
         E              C         G                B7 
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified 
E             C           G           B7 
Come on put a little love here in my void,'  
              E             C 
He said?'It's all in your head,'  
                  G                        F7 
and I said, 'So's everything,' but he didn't get it  
  Em               A7 
I thought he was a man 
           F7 
But he was just a little boy
[Refrain]
       G            Cmaj7     F7           G 
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 
           G        Cmaj7         F7 
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up 
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G 
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold 
       Em7                 A7             F7                G 
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love 
       Cmaj7                    F7           G 
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills 
           G        Cmaj7         F7 
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up 
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G 
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold 
       Em7                 A7                   F7                G 
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when, when it costs too much to love 
           Cmaj7                    F7           G 
Oh, hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills 
          G          Cmaj7         F7 
Because I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up 
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G 
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold 
       Em7                 A7        F7                         G 
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works, when it costs too much to love
