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