Only the Wind
By: Billy Dean

Key of C#

Capo on 1st fret
Intro: F  C  F  C

F			   C			Dm
I remember as a child on a dark and stormy night
Dm					C
I heard the screen door slam and I was overcome with fright
F				 C
So afraid that something bad was trying to get in
     Am		  Dm		 G
Then mama came to comfort me and said,

Chorus
G	      F			C
It's only the wind, and nothing more
	Am	   C	 Am		 G
Not the end of the world knocking at the door
	      F		C	  F		     G		Am
So close your eyes and dream again, believe me, it's only the wind


F				  C
Well everytime I've had to face a bitter storm of life,
Dm				C
Those words of comfort were my shelter in the night
    F				C
But tonight I don't believe I'm able to pretend
    Am			Dm	 G		    Am
The storm that you and I are up against is only the wind.

(Instrumental)Am F  Am  F  G

F				     C
I can hear you downstairs and you're just about to leave
	Am				C
There's nothing left that I can do to keep you here with me, no
F					  C
And now the screen door's slammin and I'm frightened once again
	Am		Dm		G
What I wouldn't give if I could be convinced

G	      F			C
It's only the wind, and nothing more
	Am	   C	 Am		 G
Not the end of the world walking out the door
            F	    Am		F		G	 F
I wish that I could dream again, believing it's only the wind
		C	     Am		C    Am		     G
Oh and nothing more, not the end of my world walking out the door
	    F	    Am		   F		G	 F   C F C	      F   C F (fade)
I wish that I could dream again, beleiving it's only the
wind........Only the wind
