[Verse 1]
           G    Am
Born and raised 
           Em                 C
Under the rain and a western wind
           G    Am
Felt the weight 
               Em               C
Trying to live up to they say I am
            G    Am
Is it any wonder 
              Em              C
Shame comes calling my first name
                G     Am
Is there any question 
           Em                 C
If I'm the one here left to blame 
[Pre-Chorus]
                G
It's the same fight 
          Am
All over again 
               Em
It's the same bite 
                C
Breaking on my skin 
                G
It's the same light 
                Am
When you let me in 
           Em
You let me in 
           C
You let me in
[Chorus]
            Em       C     G   D
You are the air I breathe (Oh, Oh)
             Em      C    G   D
You are the song I bleed (Oh, Oh)
            Em                C
You are the war that I can't win 
             G                D
This is my white flag in the wind 
       Em        C    G   D
Every word you speak (Oh, Oh)
D                     
Is the air I breathe
[Interlude]
G  Am  Em  C
[Verse 2]
                 G      Am  
I feel like a contender 
             Em               C
Bringing my fist to a pistol war 
     G      Am
I surrender 
                Em                        C
That I need you now, and you've loved me more 
               G   Am
It's like an ocean 
         Em                       C
Over my head, and I'm under the light 
        G  Am   Em    C
In slow mo  -  tion tonight 
[Pre-Chorus]
                G
It's the same fight 
          Am
All over again 
               Em
It's the same bite 
                C
Breaking on my skin 
                G
It's the same light 
                Am
When you let me in 
           Em
You let me in 
           C
You let me in
[Chorus]
            Em       C     G   D
You are the air I breathe (Oh, Oh)
             Em      C    G   D
You are the song I bleed (Oh, Oh)
            Em                C
You are the war that I can't win 
             G                D
This is my white flag in the wind 
       Em        C    G   D
Every word you speak (Oh, Oh)
D                     
Is the air I breathe
[Bridge]
Am                     C
I hear you calling my name out name out 
D                   
Is there any other way now (Way now)
Am                     C
I hear you calling my name out, name out 
D
I got nothing left to say now, say now 
[Chorus]
            Em       C     G   D
You are the air I breathe 
             Em      C    G   D
You are the song I bleed 
            Em                C
You are the war that I can't win 
             G                D
This is my white flag in the wind 
       Em        C    G
Every word you speak 
        D                     
Is the air I
[Chorus]
            Em       C     G   D
You are the air I breathe (Oh, Oh)
             Em      C    G   D
You are the song I bleed (Oh, Oh)
            Em                C
You are the war that I can't win 
             G                D
This is my white flag in the wind 
       Em        C    G   D
Every word you speak (Oh, Oh)
D                     
Is the air I breathe
[Coda]
