This is a beautiful song, but the lyrics repeat themselves a lot. The chords in brackets
are to be played within a half measure.

Song :
Cadd9
As if I tried and catch the wind
G
Or swim in the sea
Cadd9
My mind keeps wondering back
G
To the days I hold your hands
Cadd9
I’m only crying tears of hope
G
But those are still real
Cadd9
The things that once appeared so strong
G
Now feel so faint.
Cadd9 G
Cause when I woke up in the sand
Cadd9 G
You’ve hit the road and left my heart to try to land.
(Am7 B7 Em)
We’ve been standing there witnessing the end.
(Am7 B7 Em)
Shed some tears but really holding the pain.
Cadd9
As if I tried and catch the wind
G
Or swim in the sea
Cadd9
My mind keeps wondering back
G
To the days I hold your hands
Cadd9
I’m only crying tears of hope
G
But those are still real
Cadd9
The things that once appeared so strong
G
Now feel so faint.
Bridge
Cadd9
It was all hanging by a thread
G
You took a knife and cut it off
Cadd9 G
It’s been so insane to bare it all
Cadd9 G
Cause when I woke up in the sand
Cadd9 G
You’ve hit the road and left my heart to try to land.
(Am7 B7 Em)
We’ve been standing there witnessing the end.
(Am7 B7 Em)
Shed some tears but really holding the pain.
Cadd9 G Gsus2 Em
Ooooo……
Cadd9 G Gsus2 Em
Ooooooo…
Cadd9 G Gsus2
Ooooooo…
Cadd9
As if I tried and catch the wind
G
Or swim in the sea
Cadd9
My mind keeps wondering back
G
To the days I hold your hands
Cadd9
I’m only crying tears of hope
G
But those are still real
Cadd9
The things that once appeared so strong
G
Now feel so faint.
