[Verse]
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
