Verse 1:
C majorC
C majorC
An out-of-business restaurant was someone's dream once
A minorAm
I can still see you in college, putting on your cherry lip gloss
E minorEm
But time did what it does, and it happened to us
FF
The people who we thought we'd be call out who we'd become
C majorC
And I came back to Manhattan like a tourist does
A minorAm
From a taxi, seatbelt fastened to which pocket I keep cash in
E minorEm
I sit down in Union Square, I could feel you here, I swear
FF G+G
But I turned around to see it's really nothing
Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm
It's just something in the air
E MajorE FF G+G
It's just something in the air
Verse 2:
C majorC
And for all that let his wife of 25 years walk out
A minorAm
I think maybe that all happened
Before they even knew what happened
E minorEm
Too much space between the words
Neither one of them felt hurt
FF
Too much damage and her passion couldn't be relearned
C majorC
But hey, maybe that's their version of what forever is
A minorAm
Built a home on crazy hours, fed their kids, kept on the power
E minorEm
He still hears her up the stairs, stirs his coffee like he cares
FF G+G
Then he turns around to see she isn't coming
Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm FF G+G
It's just something in the air
G+G C majorC A minorAm
It's just something in the air
E minorEm FF G+G C majorC
It's just something in the air
Verse 3:
C majorC
It's the blanket that your mother made when you were young
A minorAm
And why it only has more meaning
D MajorD
When the strands all come undone
E minorEm
It's why you sometimes say a prayer
C majorC
Why you wear the ring you wear
FF G+G
It's the push when you need hope to keep you going
FF G+G
It's the way that you just know without knowing
Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm
It's just something in the air
E minorEm
I sit down in Union Square, I could feel you here, I swear
FF G+G
But I turned around to see it's really nothing
G+G
It's just something in the air
