The Hungry Years

(A)Girl, we made it to the top,

we (Dm)went so high we couldn't stop,

we (A)climbed the ladder (Dm)leading us (A)nowhere.

Two of us (D)together, building (Dm)castles in the (A)air.

(G7)We (C)spun so fast we couldn't tell the (Fm)gold ring from the carousel;

how (C)could we know the (Fm)ride would turn out (C)bad?

(E7)Ev'rything we (Am)wanted (D7)let's was ev'rything we (G7sus)had.

(G7)I miss the hungry (Fmaj7)years, the once upon a (Fm)time,

the lovely long (C)ago we didn't have a (D9)dime:

those days of (Dm7)me and you

we (Fm)lost along the (Cmaj7)way.

(C9)How could I be so (Fmaj7)blind not to see the (Fm)door closing on the (C)world I now hunger (D9)for.

Looking through my (Dm7)tears,

I (Fm)miss the hungry (C)years.

(E7)We (A)shared our day dreams one by one we (Dm)making plans was so much fun;

we (A)set our goals and (Dm)reached the highest (A)star.

Things that we were (D)after we much (Dm)better from (A)afar

(G7)We (C)Here we stand just me and you with (Fm)evrything and nothing,

too; it (C)wasn't worth the (Fm)price we had to (C)pay.

(E7)Honey, take me (Am)home, ed (D7)let's go back to (G7sus)yesterday.

(G7)I miss the hungry (Fmaj7)years, the once upon a (Fm)time,

the lovely long (C)ago we didn't have a (D9)dime:

those days of (Dm7)me and you we (Fm)lost along the (Cmaj7)way.

(C9)How could I be so (Fmaj7)blind not to see the (Fm)door closing on the (C)world I now hunger (D9)for.

Looking through my (Dm7)tears,

I (Fm)miss the hungry (C)years.

(E7)We (C)years.

(Fm)I miss the hungry (C)years.
