Verse 1
   C#						    C#/Eb, C#/F
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea,
             F#
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath.
              C#					     C#/Eb, C#/F
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance,
      F#
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans.
           C#			  C#/Eb, C#/F, Gbplay

And I stand alone before the night.

My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
         Bbm	      F#
Life is old, but so short.
         Bbm	      F#
We are young, we want more.

Chorus
C#	          F#
I'm drowning, but I don't care,

Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got

Who needs air?

I don’t need air.

My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea,

Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me.
          C#				             C#/Eb, C#/F
I don’t need to prove the world to you only to myself.
      F#
So step back and look away as I dive into the swell.

Who needs air?  I don’t need air.
