has left me (Ebm)peace ful, warm and tired.

(Dm)What

more could I ask;

there’s noth ing (Ebm)left to be de sired.

(Bb)Peace

came up on me and it (D7)leaves

me weak.

(Eb)Sleep,

si lent (Ebm)an gel, go

to (Bb)sleep.

Some times

all I need is the air that I breathe and to (Bb)love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to (Bb)love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe.

(Fm)Ah,
