E              B7sus2          
  My words are all carried away
E        B7sus2        
  I talk to the wind
Am7                 B7   
  The wind does not hear
Am7                B7 
  The wind cannot hear


[verse: 2]
E             
I'm on the outside 
Cmaj7
  Looking inside
Gmaj7       F#m7  B7
  What do I see---ee

  Disillusion

  All around me---e

  I talk to the wind
Am7                 B7   
  The wind does not hear
Am7                B7 
  The wind cannot hear


[verse: 3]
E                    
  You don't possess me
Cmaj7
Don't impress me
Gmaj7           F#m7  B7
