PAPER BAG CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
      E              C        G             Bm7 
I was staring at the sky just looking for a star
E             C          G              B7  
To pray on or wish on or something like that
      E              C        G             Bm 
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
F               Em7      A7                 
Whose reality I knew was ahopeless to be had
             E       C              G        Bm7  
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
      E                          C         
And I believed for a moment that my chances
G                      B7     
Were approaching to be grabbed
          E              C        G     F   
But as it came down near so did a weary tear
  E          Em7   A7              F7              
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
                    C             F             
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G                 Cmaj7     F            G   
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Em7              A7            
Hunger hurts but starving works
        F7    Fsus4       G    Bm
When it costs too much to love  
E          C     G          
And I went crazy again today
Bm7           E               C             G           B7
Looking for a strand to climb looking for a little hope  
E C            G            
 Baby said he couldn't stay
Bm7              F                  Em7               A7          
Wouldn't put his lips to mine and a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
       E             C       G               Bm       
I said Honey I don't feel so good don't feel justified


[Verse]
E           C             G          B7  
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
  C          Em7   A7             F                
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy
G                  Cmaj7    F            G    
Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
                    C             F             
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
         G                 Cmaj7     F            G   
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Em7                       A7   
Hunger hurts but starving works


[Chorus]
        F     F7          G   
When it costs too much to love
C                              F         G    
Hunger hurts but I want him so bad oh it kills
                    C                  F             
'cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
         G            C                        F     G      
I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
Em7                       A7      
Hunger hurts but starving works me
        F7                G   
When it costs too much to love
          C                       F         G    
Oh hunger hurts but I want him so bad oh it kills
                          C                  F             
Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
         G            Cmaj7                    F        G   
I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
Em7                       A7      
Hunger hurts but starving it works
F       F7                G           
When it costs too much to love hmm hmm
