The Air That I Breathe

Words & Music:

Hollies

 

[capo 4]

Gsus2  Fadd9    Gsus2    Fadd9    C

 

G                      B7

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass.

C          Cm                G

Can't think of anything I need.

No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.

Nothing to eat, no books to read

 

Bm                               Cm                 G

Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired

Bm                                      Cm          G

What more could I ask?  There's nothing left to be desired

 

G                     B7

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak

   C             Cm           B

So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

 

CHORUS:

G                            D                           G

Sometimes  all I need is the air that I breathe, then to love you.

G                  D                           G

All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you.

G                  D

All I need is the air that I breathe...

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  Dm   C   G   D  [2x]

 

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.

So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

OUTRO:  [repeat & out]

G                        D                             G

Sometimes  all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.

G                  D                          G

All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you.
