The Hungry Years Neil Sedaka
By Neil Sedaka
Gi[A]rl we made it to the top
We w[Dm/A]ent so high we couldn't stop
We cli[A]mbed the ladder lea[Dm/A]ding us nowhere
Two of us tog[D/A]ether building ca[Dm/A]stles in the a[A]ir[Dm7] [G7]
We sp[C]un so fast we couldn't tell
The go[Fm/C]ld ring from the carousel
How cou[C]ld we know the [Fm/C]ride would turn out b[C]ad
Eve[E7/B]rything we wa[Am]nted, was ever[D7]ything we h[G7sus4]ad
[G7]I miss the hungry y[Fmaj7]ears
The once upon a t[Fm(maj7)]ime
The lovely long a[C/E]go
[C]We didn't have a d[D9]ime
Those days of m[Dm7]e and [G13]you
We l[Fm/G]ost along the w[Cmaj7]ay
[C9]How could I be so bl[Fmaj7]ind
Not to see the d[Fm(maj7)]oor
Closing on the w[C/E]orld
[C]I now hunger f[D9]or
Looking through my t[Dm7]ears[G13]
I m[Fm/G]iss the hungry ye[C]ars[Bm7] [E7]
We sha[A]red our day dreams one by one
Maki[Dm/A]ng plans was so much fun
We set[A] our goals and reac[Dm/A]hed the highest star
Things that we were [D/A]after were much b[Dm/A]etter from a [A]far[Dm7] [G7]
H[C]ere we stand just me and you
With ever[Fm/C]ything and nothing too
It was[C]n't worth the pr[Fm/C]ice we had to p[C]ay
Ho[E7/B]ney take me ho[Am]me... [D7sus4]Let's go b[D7]ack to yeste[G7sus4]rday
[G7]I miss the hungry y[Fmaj7]ears
The once upon a t[Fm(maj7)]ime
The lovely long a[C/E]go
[C]We didn't have a d[D9]ime
Those days of m[Dm7]e and [G13]you
We l[Fm/G]ost along the w[Cmaj7]ay
[C9]How could I be so bl[Fmaj7]ind
Not to see the d[Fm(maj7)]oor
Closing on the w[C/E]orld
[C]I now hunger f[D9]or
Looking through my t[Dm7]ears[G13]
I m[Fm/G]iss the hungry ye[C]ars[Bm7] [E7]
[Fm/C]I miss the hungry ye[C]ars[Fm/C] [C]
