Lyrics

I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

And I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

Can you feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord,

oh Lord.

Well, if (Dm)you told me you were drown ing

I (C6)would not lend a hand.

I’ve (Bb)seen your face be fore, my friend, but I don’t (Dm7)know if you know who I am.

Well, (Dm)I was there and I saw what you did, I (C6)saw it with my own two eyes.

So you can (Bb)wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been, it’s (Dm7)all been a pack of lies.

And

Well,

I can

Well, I re (Dm)mem ber,

I re mem ber, don’t wor ry,

could I ev er for get?

It’s the first time,

the last time we (Dm7)ev er met.

But I know the son why you keep the si lence up,

no you don’t me.

The (Bb)hurt does n’t show but the pain still grows, it’s no (Dm7)stran ger to you or me.

I can feel it in the (C)air to night, oh Lord,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

And I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

I can feel it in the (C)air to night, oh Lord,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

And I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

About “In The Air Tonight

Why does the accompaniment for "In The Air Tonight" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins in?
The backing track is in Bb at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
