Fiona Apple - Paper Bag Chords

Verse:   
       E             C         G             B7    
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             B7    
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy    
        F7                  Em             A7    
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had    
            E        C              G         B7    
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     F7    
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear    
  Em               A7                F7    
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag    
     
Chorus:    
       G            Cmaj7     F7           G    
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills    
           G        Cmaj7         F7    
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up    
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G    
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold    
       Em7                 A7             F7                G    B7    
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love    
     
Verse:    
E          C      G       
And I went crazy again today,    
B7            E                C             G          B7  E    
Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope    
C            G              B7               F7    
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine    
      Em                A7    
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope    
         E              C         G                B7    
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified    
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                        F7    
and I said, 'So's everything,' but he didn't get it     
  Em               A7    
I thought he was a man    
           F7    
But he was just a little boy    
     
Chorus:    
       G            Cmaj7     F7           G    
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills    
           G        Cmaj7         F7    
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up    
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G    
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold    
       Em7                 A7             F7                G       
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love    
       Cmaj7                    F7           G    
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills    
           G        Cmaj7         F7    
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up    
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G    
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold    
       Em7                 A7                   F7                G       
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when, when it costs too much to love    
           Cmaj7                    F7           G    
Oh, hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills    
          G          Cmaj7         F7    
Because I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up    
         G                 Cmaj7        F7        G    
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold    
       Em7                 A7        F7                         G    
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works, when it costs too much to love
