G * C * G * C G
In the chilly hours and minutes .. of un-cer-tain-ty, I want to be

* * C D G * D *
In the warm hold of your loving mind

G * C * G * C G
To feel you all a-round me .. and to take your hand a-long the sand

G * C D G * D * 
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

G * C * G * C G
When sundown pales the sky, I want to hide a-while be-hind your smile

G * C D G * D *
And every-where I'd look, your eyes I'd find

G * C * G * C 
*
For me to love you now, .. would be the sweetest thing, t'would make me sing


G * C D G * D *
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind


BRIDGE:

C 3m, 6m * C * 2 * D
Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy, diddy diddy, diddy diddy, .. dee dee dee

G * C * G * C

When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears


G * C D G * D *
To help me to leave all my blues be-hind

G * C * G * C *
Standin' in your heart is where I want to be and long to be
G * C D G *
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
