There's two ways to play this song, with power chords, or
standard chords. Here are both:
Power Chords Standard Chords
D (X-5-7-7-X-X) (X-0-0-2-3-2)
E (X-7-9-9-X-X) (0-2-2-1-0-X)
F (X-8-10-10-X-X) (0-3-3-2-1-1)
G (X-10-12-12-X-X) (3-2-0-0-0-3)
A (5-7-7-X-X-X) (0-0-2-2-2-0)
Intro Lead and Chorus Lead (listen to the song to see how it
fits):
1-|E|-----------------------------------------
2-|B|-----------------------------------------
3-|G|-----------------------------------------
4-|D|-------7~-(5)--------------7~-(5)--------
5-|A|-4-5-7-------(7)-(5)-4-5-7--------(7)-(5)
6-|E|-----------------------------------------
~REPEAT as many times necessary~
*******************************************************
Here's how the lead fits with the chorus: (string first as
a letter, then fret number as a # and you'll have to fill in
the "()" for yourself)Note: These are NOT chords!
a4 a5 a7 d7
Like the air that I breathe I need you
a4 a5 a7 d7
This image is so surreal
a4 a5 a7 d7
I dont want to live without you
a4 a5 a7 d7
...and this is how I feel
*******************************************************
The () are fill-ins. Play them softly in between.
There are supposed to be 2 guitars, a rhythm and a lead.
The lead is usually the power chords. And the rhythm is the
standard chords for full strumming sound. It sounds good if
you mix the two together (intro and chorus on lead and
rhythm on verses) with the CD.
Intro Verse 1
Lead Riff During Chorus
Rhythm
D F G D D F G x2
(Hold the G on second half where you would be playing 2nd D
on first half)
(The lead plays on seperate beats than the rhthym guitar so
DON'T play the
same part)
Intro Verse 2
D E G A G D D E G A G
(play the D E G A with the lead part play G D [1st time] and
G [2nd] along with the rhythm)
Verse:
(no guitar for the first two lines)
Circles on the water, lonely tear is falling.
Missing you, I'm missing you
(play softly)
E D G D
Somehow I can't remember ever forgetting how
E D G D
I needed you, I needed you
E D G D
I serenade the Heavens, crying out for mercy
E F F G
Carry me, Father carry me
E
Well, this heart is bleeding, broken, needing
F
Slowly dying, hardly beating
E F E
Listening, are you listening
Chorus:
Lead Riff During Chorus
Rhythm:
D F G D
Like the air that I breath I need you
D F G
This image is so surreal
D F G D
I don't want to live without you
D F G
And this is how I feel
Verse 2:
E D G D
I thought I heard an angel, an angel whispering
E F F G
Your watching me, I know you're watching me
E D G D
I think I'll rest a while in the knowledge
E F F G
That you're never letting go of me, Never letting go
F
With this holy water falling like the dew
E
Holy Father, hold me near you
F
Listening, are you listening
Chorus
Lead Riff During Chorus
Rhythm:
D F G D
Like the air that I breath I need you
D F G
This image is so surreal
D F G D
I don't want to live without you

Bridge:
F E D F D x2
This is a "feel it to play it" part but it's really a part
of the song
Chorus
No lead part so play this with standard chords on rhythm.
D F G D
Like the air that I breath I need you
D F G
This image is so surreal
D F G D
I don't want to live without you
D F G
And this is how I feel
(fade out untill the end)
Well... there it is. I improved the lead and gave a few
extra tips and things to add to fill the song better. Have
fun with it! God bless!! ???
