The Air That I Breathe (Hollies ukulele cover)

Love this Hollies song from 1974, written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood.
With a little nod to Darth Vader with the new Star Wars movie soon to open!
[intro: F Bbm F Bbm]
[F] If I could make a wish, [A7] I think I’d pass
[Bb] Can’t think of [Bbm] anything I [F] need
[F] No cigarettes, no sleep, no [A7] lights, no sound
[Bb] Nothing to [Bbm] eat, no books to [F] read
[Am] Making love with you has left me
[Bbm] peaceful, warm, and [F] tired
[Am] What more could I ask
there’s nothing [Bbm] left to be de[F]sired
[F] Peace came upon me and it [A7] leaves me weak
So [Bb] sleep, silent [Bbm] angel, go to [F] sleep
[F] Sometimes, all I need is the
[C] air that I breathe and to [F] love you
[F] All I need is the [C] air that I breathe
yes, to [F] love you
[F] All I need is the [C] air that I breathe
[ Cm Bb F C ]
[F] Peace came upon me and it [A7] leaves me weak
So [Bb] sleep, silent [Bbm] angel, go to [F] sleep
[F] Sometimes, all I need is the
[C] air that I breathe and to [F] love you
[F] All I need is the [C] air that I breathe,
yes, to [F] love you (repeat and fade)
