Verse 1

             E           A
If you could see me now
            B              E            A
The one who said that he`d rather roam
            B                E        A
The one who said he`d rather be alone
             B           E
If you could only see me now

                         A
If I could hold you now
           B                        E             A
Just for a moment if I could really make you mine
           B                   E              A
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
           B             E
If I could only hold you now


Chorus 1

          A               B
I`ve been too long in the wind
E               A
too long in the rain
F#m        B              E
Taking any comfort that I can
A                B
Lookin` back and longing for
    E               A
the freedom from my chains
F#m           B           E     A   E   A
Lyin` in your loving arms again


Verse 3

             E           A
If you could hear me now
             B                 E           A
Singing somewhere through the lonely night
         B                E             A
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
             B            E
If you could only hear me now


Chorus 2

          A               B
I`ve been too long in the wind
   E               A
Oh too long in the rain
F#m        B              E
Taking any comfort that I can
A                B
Looking back and longing for
    E               A
the freedom from my chains
F#m            B          E
Lying`in your lovin` arms again


Outro

      A                B           E      A   E
I can almost feel your lovin` arms again
