[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

[Ulangi Chorus 3x]
