The Hunger

G#m             B          E                   B
She hates being on her own   But she does her best
G#m                      B      E                       B
Empty nights create the hunger    for love and tender-ness
C#m                 G#m        B                     F#
She spends so much time alone She says it makes her wonder
C#m             G#m                 G
If she'll ever find someone who'll make her feel alive
F#            B
Satisfy the hunger
G#m                B           E                      B
He always reads a lot at night    But he gets tire of it
G#m                          B     E                     B
An empty house deepens his desire    for true companion-ship
C#m               G#m               B                 F#
When he sees him-self in the mirror He don't look no younger
C#m                G#m               G
He just keeps on fighting the fear that he'll go through life
F#                B
Not satisfy the hunger

[Chorus]
F#       G#m       E               B
Oh the hunger The need for loving arms
F#      G#m      G              F#              B
Oh the hunger Longing for con-tentment of the heart

G#m               B        E                    B
She picks up a second job    at the all night diner
G#m       B            E                  B
Anything she could do to fill the empty hours
C#m                       G#m    B                 F#
And then by chance her destiny stares across the counter
C#m                  G#m              G
Lives are change by what they see in each other's eyes
 F#                  B
They recognize the hunger
