The Classic Crime - Who Needs Air
Tuning: Capo 1
C
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea,
F
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath.
C
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance,
F
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans.
Prechorus
C F
And I stand alone before the night.
C F
My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
Am F
Life is old, but so short.
Am F
We are young, we want more.
Chorus
C F
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
Am
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
F
Who needs air?
C
I don’t need air.
C
My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea,
F
Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me.
C
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.
C F
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
Am
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
F
Who needs air?
Bridge
Dm Em
Take me down to the river like a little child,
F G
Take my hand and tell me it’s okay to be wild.
Dm Em
I never knew the world until I saw through your eyes,
F G
I never knew myself until I ripped off my disguise.
C F
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
Am
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
F
Who needs air?
C
I’m drowning
(I have come to the realization that)
F
but I don’t care
(life is more than what I have accomplished and)
Am
Because when you got what I got what I got
(life is more than the realization that)
F
Who needs air?
(we have accomplished nothing at all)
C
I’m drowning
(True success is so selfless so drown in the)
F
But I don’t care
(lyrics of your life and give up the air that you breathe)
Am
Because when you got what I got what I got

F
Who needs air?
(You don’t need anything)
C
You don’t need air…
