[Verse 1]
G                     B7
If I could make a wish,  I think I'd pass.
 C               Cm        G
Can't think of anything I need
G                            B7
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,
C          Cm                G
nothing to eat, no books to read.
Bm
Making love with you
             Cm                  G
has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.
Bm
What more could I ask,
                 Cm          G
There's nothing left to be desired,

[Verse 2]
G                           B7
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak,
    C             Cm            G
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

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

[Instrumental]
Dm   C   G   D

[Verse 3]
G                          B7
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
    C             Cm            G
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

[Chorus]
G                             D
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
        G
and to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe,
          G
yes, to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe.

yes, to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe.
