Neil Sedaka - The hungry years

Gi^Arl we made it to the top We w^Dm/Aent so high we couldn't stop We cli^Ambed the ladder lea^Dm/Ading us nowhere Two of us tog^D/Aether building ca^Dm/Astles in the a^Air ^{Dm7 G7}

We sp^Cun so fast we couldn't tell The go^Fm/Cld ring from the carousel How cou^Cld we know the ^Fm/Cride would turn out b^Cad Eve^E7/Brything we wa^Amnted, was ever^D7ything we h^G7sus4ad

^G7I miss the hungry y^Fmaj7ears The once upon a t^Fm(maj7)ime The lovely long a^C/Ego ^CWe didn't have a d^D9ime Those days of m^Dm7e and ^G13you We l^Fm/Gost along the w^Cmaj7ay ^C9How could I be so bl^Fmaj7ind Not to see the d^Fm(maj7)oor Closing on the w^C/Eorld ^CI now hunger f^D9or Looking through my t^Dm7ears ^G13 I m^Fm/Giss the hungry ye^Cars ^{Bm7 E7}

We sha^Ared our day dreams one by one Maki^Dm/Ang plans was so much fun We set^A our goals and reac^Dm/Ahed the highest star Things that we were ^D/Aafter were much b^Dm/Aetter from a ^Afar ^{Dm7 G7} H^Cere we stand just me and you With ever^Fm/Cything and nothing too It was^Cn't worth the pr^Fm/Cice we had to p^Cay Ho^E7/Bney take me ho^Amme... ^D7sus4Let's go b^D7ack to yeste^G7sus4rday

^G7I miss the hungry y^Fmaj7ears The once upon a t^Fm(maj7)ime The lovely long a^C/Ego ^CWe didn't have a d^D9ime Those days of m^Dm7e and ^G13you We l^Fm/Gost along the w^Cmaj7ay ^C9How could I be so bl^Fmaj7ind Not to see the d^Fm(maj7)oor Closing on the w^C/Eorld ^CI now hunger f^D9or Looking through my t^Dm7ears ^G13 I m^Fm/Giss the hungry ye^Cars ^{Bm7 E7 Fm/C}I miss the hungry ye^Cars ^{Fm/C C}
