The Air I Breathe

Intro:

Am, C, Am, F, G
Am, C, Am, F, G, Am


Verse 1:
I tried to match the chords with the strum pattern of the guitar.  If you have
difficulty playing them, listen to the song again, and keep trying!

Am                Em C
Dont let me forget,
  Em    C   Em  C
Where I started
                     G  C
Cuz I keep losing my sight
G   C          G    Am
I'm blinded by the light
                 C
My dreams are in front of me
    G     F        C              G              Am
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door


Chorus:

  Am         C
I know I may be the first to forget
    Am  F                  G  Am
But I appreciate the air I breathe
                  C
I know that I may be the first to forget
    Am  F                  G  Am
But I appreciate the air I breathe


Verse 2:

Am            Em C
We choke when we
      Em C     Em   C
Focus on negativity
                       G C
When did this turn into
        G    C         G       Am
Something we took for granted

          G     C       Dm   F  G Am
This road, wont take us home
          G     C       Dm         F    G  Am
This road, wont take us home (wont take us home)
               G       C     Dm
This road wont take us home,
                F          G    Am
To the place we thought we know
               G       C     Dm
This road wont take us home,
                F          G
To the place we thought we know


Chorus:

  Am         C
I know I may be the first to forget
    Am  F                  G    Am
But I appreciate the air I breathe
                  C
I know that I may be the first to forget
    Am  F                  G    Am
But I appreciate the air I breathe


Verse 3:

Am, G, C, G x2

       Am   G C
Take a breath,
G         Am G C
Take your time
G      Am   G C
Take a breath,
G         Am G C G Am
Take your time

                 C
My dreams are in front of me
    G      Am       C             G              Am
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door

Dm   Em F     G Am
Keep me alive
           Dm Em F
The faces, we ignore
                        G         Am
Could be the faces that keep us alive
           Dm Em F
The faces, we ignore
                        G          Am  Dm C G
Could be the faces that keep us alive


Chorus:

  Am         C
I know I may be the first to forget
    Am  F                  G    Am
But I appreciate the air I breathe
                  C
I know that I may be the first to forget
    F G Am C F                  G
  Am
But I-     appreciate the air I breathe
