The Classic Crime - Who Needs Air Ukulele

The Classic Crime - Who Needs Air
Tuning: Capo 1

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

Prechorus
        D                              C
And I stand alone before the night.
        D				         C
My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
         Bm	      C
Life is old, but so short.
         Bm	      C
We are young, we want more.

Chorus
D	          C
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
                 Bm
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	   C
Who needs air?
                 D
I don't need air.

                 D			        
My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea,
          C
Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me.
          D				             
I don't need to prove the world to you only to myself.
      C
So step back and look away as I dive into the swell.

D	             C
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
                 Bm
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	    C			
Who needs air?  


Bridge 
Am			   Bm
Take me down to the river like a little child,
C			     D
Take my hand and tell me it's okay to be wild.
Am		               Bm
I never knew the world until I saw through your eyes,
C			      D
I never knew myself until I ripped off my disguise.


D	           C
I'm drowning, but I don't care,
                 Bm
Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
	      C
Who needs air?

          C
Who needs air?
(You don't need anything)
