Paper Bag Chords

[Verse]
 
       E             C         G             B
I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
    E          C             G              B
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
      E                C      G             B
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
        F                   Em             A
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
            E        C              G         B
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
        E                       C
And I believed for a moment that my chances
    G                  B
Were approaching to be grabbed
          E         C              G     F
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
  Em               A                 F
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G            C         F            G
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G        C             F
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G                 C            F         G
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       Em                  A              F                 G    B
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E          C      G
And I went crazy again today,
B             E                C             G          B   E
Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope
C            G              B                F
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine
      Em                A
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
         E              C         G                B
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
E             C           G           B
Come on put a little love here in my void,'
              E             C
He said?'It's all in your head,'
                  G                        F
and I said, 'So's everything,' but he didn't get it
  Em               A
I thought he was a man
           F
But he was just a little boy
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G            C         F            G
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G        C             F
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G                 C            F         G
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       Em                  A              F                 G
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
       C                        F            G
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills
           G        C             F
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G                 C            F         G
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
       Em                  A                    F                 G
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when, when it costs too much to love
           C                        F            G
Oh, hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
          G          C                  F
Because I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
         G                 C                 F         G
I got to fold 'cause these hands are just too shaky to hold
       Em                  A         F                          G
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works, when it costs too much to love
