The Hungry years
By Neil Sedaka
A
Girl we made it to the top
Dm/A
We went so high we couldn't stop
A Dm/A
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
D/A Dm/A A Dm7 G7
Two of us together building castles in the air
C
We spun so fast we couldn't tell
Fm/C
The gold ring from the carousel
C Fm/C C
How could we know the ride would turn out bad
E7/B Am D7 G7sus4
Everything we wanted, was everything we had
G7 Fmaj7
I miss the hungry years
Fm(maj7)
The once upon a time
C/E
The lovely long ago
C D9
We didn't have a dime
Dm7 G13
Those days of me and you
Fm/G Cmaj7
We lost along the way
C9 Fmaj7
How could I be so blind
Fm(maj7)
Not to see the door
C/E
Closing on the world
C D9
I now hunger for
Dm7 G13
Looking through my tears
Fm/G C Bm7 E7
I miss the hungry years
A
We shared our day dreams one by one
Dm/A
Making plans was so much fun
A Dm/A
We set our goals and reached the highest star
D/A Dm/A A Dm7 G7
Things that we were after were much better from a far
C
Here we stand just me and you
Fm/C
With everything and nothing too
C Fm/C C
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
E7/B Am D7sus4 D7 G7sus4
Honey take me home... Let's go back to yesterday
G7 Fmaj7
I miss the hungry years
Fm(maj7)
The once upon a time
C/E
The lovely long ago
C D9
We didn't have a dime
Dm7 G13
Those days of me and you
Fm/G Cmaj7
We lost along the way
C9 Fmaj7
How could I be so blind
Fm(maj7)
Not to see the door
C/E
Closing on the world
C D9
I now hunger for
Dm7 G13
Looking through my tears
Fm/G C Bm7 E7
I miss the hungry years
Fm/C C Fm/C C
I miss the hungry years
