G         Dsus2
Promise of you,
               Asus2
It sleeps in the air,
                   Em     Em/B      Em/G      G
The air that I breathe,
                    Dsus2

Verse:

Bsus2  Em7     G            Asus2        Bsus2    Em7   G    Asus4
What   secrets sleep in the heart of a man,
Bsus2   Em7         G         Asus2                     Bsus2    Em7   G    Asus4
        So much love wasted Slip right through my hands,
Bsus2                       Em7
See it in the eyes of the lonely,
        G                   Asus2
As they make their weary way,
Bsus2                   Em7
Shimmer in the eyes of longing,
G           Asus2
I hear it say,

Chorus:

G         Dsus2
Promise of you,
               Asus2
It sleeps in the air,
                   Em     Em/B      Em/G      G
The air that I breathe,
                    Dsus2
And I know that it's true,
                    Asus2          Asus4/E
Don't have to convince myself to believe,


What secrets sleep in the heart of the night,
Dreams of salvation,
Slipping out of sight,
In the shimmering moments of twilight,
Closing up the shine,
Whisper on the wind of a rescue,
Savior in time,

Chorus:

G         Dsus2
Promise of you,
               Asus2
It sleeps in the air,
                   Em     Em/B      Em/G      G
The air that I breathe,
                    Dsus2
And I know that it's true,
                    Asus2          Asus4/E
Don't have to convince myself to believe,

All this  time,
               G                                 Dsus2
I've been fighting my own private war,

Cadd9  Dsus2
All this  time,
                     Asus2                      Em
You were the peace I was looking for

Chorus:

G         Dsus2

It sleeps in the air,
                   Em     Em/B      Em/G      G
The air that I breathe,
                    Dsus2
And I know that it's true,
                    Asus2          Asus4/E
