Verse:

B[G]
If I could make a wish
D#7[B7]
I think I'd pass
E[C]          Em[Cm]       B[G]
Can't think of anything I need

B[G]
No cigarettes, no sleep
D#7[B7]
No light, no sound
E[C]      Em[Cm]            B[G]
Nothing to eat, no books to read

D#m[Bm]
Making love with you
Em[Cm]             B[G]
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
D#m[Bm]
What more could I ask
Em[Cm]       B[G]
There's nothing left to be desired

Pre-chorus:

B[G]                     D#7[B7]
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
E[C]          Em[Cm]       G[B]
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Chorus:

B[G]                        F#[D]                      B[G]
Sometimes  all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
B[G]              F#[D]                       B[G]
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you
B[G]             F#[D]
All I need is the air that I breathe
