Paper Bag

       E             C       
I was staring at the sky, just 
  G             B7
looking for a star
    E          C             G   
To pray on, or wish on, or 
           B7
something like that
      E                C    
I was having a sweet fix of a 
  G             B7
daydream of a boy
        F7                  Em    
Whose reality I knew, was a 
         A7
hopeless to be had
            E        C            
But then the dove of hope began 
  G         B7
its downward slope
        E                       C
And I believed for a moment that my 
chances
    G                  B7
Were approaching to be grabbed
          E         C              
But as it came down near, so did a 
G     F7
weary tear
  Em               A7             
I thought it was a bird, but it 
   F7
was just a paper bag


       G            Cmaj7     F7 
Hunger hurts, and I want him so 
          G
bad, oh it kills
           G        Cmaj7         
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't 
F7
wanna clean up
         G                 Cmaj7  
I got to fold 'cause these hands 
      F7        G
are too shaky to hold

       Em7                 A7     
Hunger hurts, but starving works, 
        F7                G    B7
when it costs too much to love

E          C      G
And I went crazy again today,
B7            E             
Looking for a strand to climb, 
   C             G          B7  E
looking for a little hope
C            G              B7  
Baby said he couldn't stay, 
             F7
wouldn't put his lips to mine
      Em                A7
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
         E              C     
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so 
    G                B7
good, don't feel justified
E             C           G     
Come on put a little love here 
      B7
in my void,'
              E             C
He said?'It's all in your head,'
                  G                
and I said, 'So's everything,' but 
        F7
he didn't get it
  Em               A7
I thought he was a man
           F7
But he was just a little boy

       G            Cmaj7     F7 
Hunger hurts, and I want him so 
          G
bad, oh it kills
           G        Cmaj7         
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't 
F7

         G                 Cmaj7

when, when it costs too much to love
           Cmaj7                   
Oh, hunger hurts, and I want him so
 F7           G
 bad, oh it kills
          G          Cmaj7

works, when it costs too much to 
   G
love
