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
