The Classic Crime - Who Needs Air
Tuning: Capo 1

    C (x32010@1)				    
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea,
             FAlways (133211@1)moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath.
              C (x32010@1)			     
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance,
      FTo (133211@1)dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans.

Prechorus
        C (x32010@1)                            FAnd (133211@1)I stand alone before the night.
        C (x32010@1)		         FMy (133211@1)nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
         Am (x02210@1)     FLife (133211@1)is old, but so short.
         Am (x02210@1)     FWe (133211@1)are young, we want more.

Chorus
C (x32010@1)         FI'm (133211@1)drowning, but I don't care,
                 AmBecause (x02210@1)when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	   FWho (133211@1)needs air?
                 CI (x32010@1)don't need air.

                 C (x32010@1)	        
My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea,
          FLike (133211@1)a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me.
          C (x32010@1)		             
I don't need to prove the world to you only to myself.
      FSo (133211@1)step back and look away as I dive into the swell.

C (x32010@1)            FI'm (133211@1)drowning, but I don't care,
                 AmBecause (x02210@1)when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	    F (133211@1)	
Who needs air?  


Bridge 
Dm (xx0231@1)	   EmTake (022000@1)me down to the river like a little child,
F (133211@1)	     GTake (320003@1)my hand and tell me it's okay to be wild.
Dm (xx0231@1)               EmI (022000@1)never knew the world until I saw through your eyes,
F (133211@1)	      GI (320003@1)never knew myself until I ripped off my disguise.


C (x32010@1)          FI'm (133211@1)drowning, but I don't care,
                 AmBecause (x02210@1)when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	      FWho (133211@1)needs air?
