No Air

No Air is a collaboration between Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, released in 2007. The song discusses the feeling of incompleteness and difficulty in living without the loved ones presence, comparing their absence to a state of suffocation, as if breathing without them is impossible. The track gained significant popularity, becoming one of the most recognized songs from both artists.

Introduction:  F#   C#m   G#m   B  

 F# 
If I should die before I wake,
   C#m 
It's 'cause you took my breath away
   G#m                                                                                 B 
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh...
   F# 
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave,
   C#m 
My heart won't move, it's incomplete.
   G#m                                                                                 B 
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand...
               F#                                                 C#m                                                                 G#m 
But how do you expect me to live alone with just me? 'Cause my world
                                   B                                                                                       F# 
revolves around you, it's so hard for me to breathe.
                                                                                                                                   C#m 
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
                                                                                     G#m 
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
                                                                                                   B 
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
                                   F# 
It's no air, no air
                                                                                             C#m 
Got me out here in the water, so deep
                                                                                                               G#m 
Tell me, how you gon' breathe without me?
                                                                                         B 
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
                                   F# 
It's no air, no air
 F# 
No air, air
 C#m 
No air, air
 G#m 
No air, air
 B 
No air, air
   F# 
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
   C#m 
Right off the ground to float to you
   G#m 
There's no gravity to hold me down,
   B 
for real.
   F# 
But somehow I'm still alive inside
   C#m 
You took my breathe, but I survived
   G#m                                                               B 
I don't how, but I don't even care
               F#                                                 C#m                                                                 G#m 
But how do you expect me to live alone with just me? 'Cause my world
                                   B                                                                                       F# 
revolves around you, it's so hard for me to breathe.
                                                                                                                                   C#m 
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
                                                                                     G#m 
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
                                                                                                   B 
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
                                   F# 
It's no air, no air
                                                                                             C#m 
Got me out here in the water, so deep
