   D                 A
1. I was lost and alone
              Bm
   Trying to grow
                   G                   A
   Making my way down that long winding road
    D                  A
   Had no reason or rhyme
                       Bm
   Like a song out of time
                          G           A
   And there you were standing in front of my eyes

   How could I be such a fool?
   To let go of love
   And break all the rules
   Girl, when you walked out that door
   Left a hole in my heart
   And now I know for sure

    D                        A
R: You're the air that I breathe
                            Bm
   Girl, you're all that I need
                 G        A
   And I wanna thank you lady
    D                        A
   You're the words that I read
                           Bm
   You're the light that I see
                     G          A
   And your love is all that I need

2. I was searching the vain
   Playing a game
   Had no one else but myself left to blame
   You came into my world
   No diamonds, no pearls
   Could ever replace what you gave to me girl

   Just like a castle of sand
   Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands
   And just like a flower needs rain
   I will stand by your side
   Through the joy and the pain

R: You're the air that I breathe...
