{intro} 

       C     C          F       F 
In the chilly hours and minutes 
     C         C    F         F 
Of uncertainty,    I want to be 
C       C        F       G      C    C  G  G 
In the warm hold of your loving mind 

   C       C      F       F 
To feel you all around me 
       C          C     F           F 
And to take your hand along the sand 
C         C           F        G        C    F  C  C 
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind 

When sundown pales the sky 
I want to hide a while behind your smile 
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. 

For me to love you now 
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing 
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. 

F           F           Em     Em 
Deedee dee dee, dee dee deedee 
        F      F        D7/F#  D7/F# 
Dee dee deedee, dee dee deedee 
        G    G/E  G/F  G/E 
Dee de deeee 

When rain has hung the leaves with tears 
I want you near to kill my fears 
To help me to leave all my blues behind 

For standing in your heart 
Is where I want to be and long to be 
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind 
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
