Neil Sedaka - The Hungry Years

A
girl we made it to the top
Dm
we went so high we couldn’t stop
A Dm A
we climbed the laddEr leading us nowhere
D Dm A Dm7 G7
two of us together building castles in the air
C Fm
we spun so fast we couldn , t tell , the gold ring from the carousel
C Fm C
how could we know the ride would turn out bad
E7 Am D7 G7
everything we wanted , was everything we had
G7 Fmaj7
i miss the hungry years
Fmaj7 Fm
the once upon a time
Fm C
the lovely long ago
C D9
we didn’t have a dime
D9 Dm7
those days of me and you
Fm Cmaj7
we lost along the way
C9 Fmaj7
how could i be so blind
Fmaj7 Fm
not to see the door
Fm C9
closing on the world
C D9
i now hunger for
D9 Dm7 G13
looking through my tears
Fm C Bm E7
i miss the hungry years

back to start

we shared our daydreams one by one
making plans was so much fun
we set our goals and reached the highest star
things that we were after
were much better from afar

here we stand just me and you
with everything and nothing too
it wasn’t worth the price we had to pay
honey take me home
let’s go back to yeterday
