[D]
They said [C#] in her younger [Bm] days her beauty [D] was enough to [G] drive men wild.
[A] But the hunger in her body then was not the hunger of some [D] lonely child.
Like a butterfly [C#] in springtime, [Bm] searching every field for loving [G] sweetest roe,
[D] [A] the embrace of many strangers still could not release her [D] from the hole.
In the back streets and the bedrooms, [Bm] all she's found is [D] disappointment's [G] bitter weed.
[A] While the love that she's too often found was not enough to satisfy [D] her need.
She's older than the years she [Bm] hopes, and aging [D] fast with each day [G] passing by.
[A] On a downhill run to nowhere, cause the hunger never can be [D] satisfied.
[G] The reflection [Bm] in her mirror's [Em] not the image [A] she remembers [D] in her mind.
[G] Her beauty has [Bm] been eaten by [Em] the hunger [E] and the acid [A] winds of time.
[E] [A] She has [D] danced the tune [C#] her demons played, [Bm] and paid the piper [D] dearly for his song.
[A] Empty now [Em] of all her pride, [A] but still inside her hunger's just as [D] strong.
[G]
