Air by Ben Folds Five


 


                                 Air 








I think he plays the same riff throughout the song...opening, verse, chorus, etc.

Chorus

C, G, F, F

Saw a silhouette across a fluorescent 
Floating overhead, undoing his helmet 
Through the murky beams and blue-green sea life 
I saw him spinnin' towards the moonlight 

I pull him in, he wasn't breathing 
His eyes were wide and he saw two of me there 
There's an ugly buzz that hovers just above the quiet 
Found a way to make it silent 

I'm comin' up for air 
I'm comin' up for air 
Air 
Air 

They hold my hand and ask me to pull through 
A voice I know says "dear, he probably can't hear you" 

Comin' up for air 
I'm comin' up for air 
I'm comin' up for air
