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”

Can I sing "In The Air Tonight" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "In The Air Tonight" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Bb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
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.
Can I sing over "In The Air Tonight" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "In The Air Tonight"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "In The Air Tonight", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "In The Air Tonight" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Bb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "In The Air Tonight" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
