[Verse]
EUp in your nephew's room, playing on his cousin's guitar I Awrote a song for Eyou
EYou have done drove off everything I need, myA box and my tumbEleweed
I F#mpicked it up Aon the way to Bm7flagstaff years ago
I was F#mhanging on to Aeverything you Bm7had the grace to show
[Chorus]
You were Eyoung and you were F#mhungry, Lord Aknows I was hungry Etoo
We were Eboth flat out F#mstarving for sAomething worth while to Elose
You were my Ebread I was your F#mhoney, up Aagainst a dark red Ewine
Trying to Ehold on to the F#mlovely, through the Abitter of hard Etimes
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
ELooking over the hill at the lights of your hometown I Awrote a song for Eyou
EThinking of the way we met, a girl home from school and a Aboy just passing Ethrough
I F#mgot a job as a Acutman at a Bm7house just down the road
I'dF#m never been to Atown before and I Bm7didnt know a soul
[Chorus]
I was Eyoung and I was F#mhungry, Lord Aknows you were hungry Etoo
We were Eboth flat out F#mstarving for sAomething worth while to Elose
You were my Ebread I was your F#mhoney, up Aagainst a dark red Ewine
Trying to Ehold on to the F#mlovely, through the Abitter of hard Etimes

[Bridge]
F#mAgate white Awedding dress, Bm7turquoise on your ring
F#mUpright bass and Aviolin as you Bm7walked the aisle to me
[Chorus]
I was Eyoung and I was F#mhungry, Lord Aknows you were hungry Etoo
We were Eboth flat out F#mstarving for sAomething worth while to Elose
You were my Ebread I was your F#mhoney, up Aagainst a dark red Ewine
