The Classic Crime - Who Needs Air

the classic crime – who needs air

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 dont 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 dont 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?
