[Verse 1]
G
I could say "See you later"
D
But I'll just go with "Goodbye"
Am C
Sure has been a nice night
G D
But it’s time for me to drive
G
Before I go I'll tell you
D
Something 'bout this heart of mine
Am C
My hometown was a back seat
Am C
Looking out at highway signs
[Chorus]
G D Am C
I’m a chiiiild of the wind
G D Am C
Always coming through and taking off again
Em C G C
Everybody's temporary friend
G D Am C
I'm a chiiiild of the wind
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G
On the road in California
D
With the windows all rolled down
Am C
I'm driving by myself
G D
But I've got a friend in every town
G
Sure, I might get lonesome
D
When the desert turns to night
Am C
But just like every new kid knows
Am C
Looking out at highway signs
[Chorus]
G D Am C
I'm a chiiiiild of the wind
G D Am C
Always coming through and taking off again
Em C G C
Everybody's temporary friend
G D Am C
I'm a chiiiiild of the wind
[Bridge]
C G
Don’t need time to heal a broken heart
Am D
When most things end before they even start
[Instrumental]
G D C G D Am C
[Outro]
Em C G C
Everybody’s temporary friend
G D Am C
I'm a chiiiiild of the wind
G D Am C
I’m a chiiiiild of the wind
