Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I was [E]staring at the [C]sky,
just [G]looking for a [Bm]star
To [E]pray on or [C]wish on,
or [G]something like [B]that
I was [E]having a sweet [C]fix,
of a [G]daydream of a [Bm]boy
Whose re[F]ality I [Em]knew,
was a [A]hopeless to be had

[Verse 2]
But then [E]the dove of [C]hope began
its [G]downward [Bm]slope
And I be[E]lieve for a moment [C]that
my chances were
[G]approaching to be gra[B]bbed
But as it [E]came down [C]near,
so did a [G]weary [F]tear
I [Em]thought it was a [A]bird,
but it was [F]just a paper bag

[Chorus 1]
Hunger [G]hurts, and I [C]want him
[F]so bad, oh it [G]kills
'Cause I [G]know I'm a [C]mess
he don't [F]wanna clean up
I've gotta [G]fold 'cause these [C]hands
are [F]too shaky to [G]hold
Hunger [Em]hurts but starv[A]ing works,
when it [F]costs too much to [G]love[B]

[Verse 3]
[E]And I went cra[C]zy agai[G]n today,
[Bm]looking for a [E]strand to climb
[C]Looking for a [G]little [B]hope
[E]Bab[C]y said he cou[G]ldn't stay,
[Bm]wouldn't put his [F]lips to mine
A [Em]fail to kiss is a [A]fail to cope

[Verse 4]
I said, [E]honey, I don't [C]feel so good,
[G]don't feel justif[Bm]ied
[E]Come on, put a [C]little love [G]here in my [B]void
He said, it's [E]all in your [C]head,
And I said, so's [G]everything but he didn't [F]get it
I [Em]thought he was a [A]man,
but he was [F]just a little boy

[Chorus 2]
Hunger [G]hurts, and I [C]want him
[F]so bad, oh it [G]kills
'Cause I [G]know I'm a [C]mess
he don't [F]wanna clean up
I've gotta [G]fold 'cause these [C]hands
are [F]too shaky to [G]hold
Hunger [Em]hurts but starving [A]works,
when it [F]costs too much to

[Chorus 3]
[G](love) Hunger [C]hurts
but I want him so [F]bad, oh it [G]kills
'Cause I [G]know I'm a [C]mess
that he don't [F]wanna clean up
I got to [G]fold because these [C]hands
are just [F]too shaky to [G]hold
Hunger [Em]hurts but starving [A]works me,
when it [F]costs too much to

[Chorus 4]
[G](love) Hunger [C]hurts
but I want him so [F]bad, oh it [G]kills
Because I [G]know that I'm a [C]mess
that he don't [F]wanna clean up
I got to [G]fold because these [C]hands
are just [F]too shaky to [G]hold
Hunger [Em]hurts but starv[A]ing, it works
[F]when it costs too much to
