The Hunger

G#m             B          E    
She hates being on her own   But
               B
 she does her best
G#m                      B      
Empty nights create the hunger  
E                       B
  for love and tender-ness
C#m                 G#m        B
She spends so much time alone 
                     F#
She says it makes her wonder
C#m             G#m              
If she'll ever find someone 
   G
who'll make her feel alive
F#            B
Satisfy the hunger
G#m                B           E
He always reads a lot at night  
                      B
  But he gets tire of it
G#m                          B    
An empty house deepens his desire 
 E                     B
   for true companion-ship

C#m               G#m            
When he sees him-self in the 
   B                 F#
mirror He don't look no younger
C#m                G#m           
He just keeps on fighting the 
    G
fear that he'll go through life
F#                B
Not satisfy the hunger

[Chorus]
F#       G#m       E             
Oh the hunger The need for loving 
  B
arms
F#      G#m      G    
Oh the hunger Longing for 
          F#              B
con-tentment of the heart

G#m               B        E    
She picks up a second job    at 
                B
the all night diner
G#m       B            E        
Anything she could do to fill 
          B
the empty hours
C#m                       
And then by chance her destiny 
G#m    B                 F#
stares across the counter
C#m                  G#m         
Lives are change by what they see
     G
 in each other's eyes
 F#                  B
They recognize the hunger
