Paper Bag

         E            C      
I was staring at the sky, just 
   G           B7
looking for a star
            E              
 To pray on, or wish on, or 
   C             G              B7
something like that
             E                
 I was having a sweet fix of a 
C               G             B7
daydream of a boy
           F7sus2       Em 
 Whose reality I knew, was a 
              A7
hopeless to be had
                        E          
 But then the dove of hope began 
C                        G       
its downward slope
     B7

              E                    
And I believed for a moment that my
            C
 chances
    G                          B7
Were approaching to be grabbed
                  E                
 But as it came down near, so did a
C                    G        F7sus2
 weary tear
       Em            A7           
 I thought it was a bird, but it 
  F7sus2
was just a paper bag


[Chorus]

           G             C7     
Hunger hurts, and I want him so 
F7sus2 G
bad, oh it kills
           G            C7        
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't 
   F7sus2
wanna clean up
Continues after the ad
              G                  
 I got to fold 'cause these hands
C7                 F7sus2       G
 are too shaky to hold
              Em7                
Hunger hurts, but starving works, 
      A7                  F7sus2
when it costs too much to love


[Verse]

      E        C      G    B7
 And I went crazy again today,
         E                    
looking for a strand to climb, 
  C               G               B7
looking for a little hope
   E              C               
Baby said he couldn't stay, 
G              B7
wouldn't put his lips to mine
         F7sus2      Em   A7
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
              E                
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so 
    C         G                   
good, don't feel justified
     B7

    E                     C       
Come on put a little love here in 
      G               B7
my void,'
              E             C     
He said 'It's all in your head,' 
              G                    
and I said, 'So's everything' But 
    F7sus2
he didn't get it
  Em
I thought he was a man
                    A7         
 But he was just a little boy
F7sus2



[Chorus]

           G             C7     
Hunger hurts, and I want him so 
F7sus2 G
bad, oh it kills
           G            C7        
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't 
   F7sus2
wanna clean up
              G                  
 I got to fold 'cause these hands
C7                 F7sus2       G
 are too shaky to hold
              Em7                
Hunger hurts, but starving works, 
      A7                  F7sus2
when it costs too much to love

           G             C7     
Hunger hurts, and I want him so 
F7sus2 G
bad, oh it kills
           G            C7        
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't 
   F7sus2
wanna clean up
              G                  
 I got to fold 'cause these hands
C7                 F7sus2       G
 are too shaky to hold
              Em7                
Hunger hurts, but starving works, 
      A7                  F7sus2
when it costs too much to love
