 Verse:

         B[G]
         If I could make a wish
         D#7[B7]
         I think I'd pass
         E[C]          Em[Cm]       B[G]
         Can't think of anything I need

         B[G]
         No cigarettes, no sleep
         D#7[B7]
         No light, no sound
         E[C]      Em[Cm]            B[G]
         Nothing to eat, no books to read

         D#m[Bm]
         Making love with you
                      Em[Cm]             B[G]
         Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
         D#m[Bm]
         What more could I ask
                         Em[Cm]       B[G]
         There's nothing left to be desired

 Pre-chorus:

         B[G]                     D#7[B7]
         Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
            E[C]          Em[Cm]       G[B]
         So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep


 Chorus:

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