Intro: C  G  C  G

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

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

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

(Instrumental)Em C  Em  C  D
C                                           G
I can hear you downstairs and you're just about to leave 
        Am                                    G
There's nothing left that I can do to keep you here with me, no
C                                         G
And now the screen door's slammin and I'm frightened once again
        Em              Am              D
What I wouldn't give if I could be convinced
D             C                 G
It's only the wind, and nothing more
        Em            G  Em                D
Not the end of the world walking out the door
            
            C           G               C               D        C  
I wish that I could dream again, believing it's only the wind

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