Gripping thin air           (Text &Music by Emma Magdalena Pettersson)
G                                                     D
Standing in the middle of nowhere
      Em                                     G
Not knowing which way to go
G                                              D
Thought you’d always be there
        Em                           A
Just realized it wasn’t so
G                                              D
I believed in all words written
       Em                                    G
About love, passion and fate
 G                                                 D
No love bounds were smitten
       Em                                                  A
When it all turn ‘to loath and hate
Chorus:
G                                                                   D
So much of myself that I simply gave away
C                                                  G
Leaving me in grief and despair
G                                                     D
Finding myself urging you to stay
C                                                   D
Finding myself gripping thin air
G                                                        D
Maybe I’ve been foolish and blind
     Em                                   G
Being too obsessed of my own
G                                           D
Never seen what’s to find
    Em                                             A
Never realized what life has shown
G                                                           D
But there you were right in front of me
   Em                                                  G
Wanna’ catch you and never let go
G                                                              D
But you chose the path in front of thee
   Em                                      A
And I had to let you do so
Chorus:
G                                                                    D
So much of myself that I simply gave away
C                                                   G
Leaving me in grief and despair
G                                                      D
Finding myself urging you to stay
C                                                     D
Finding myself gripping thin air
G                                                                    D
So much of myself that I simply gave away
C                                                     G
Leaving me in grief and despair
G                                                      D
Finding myself urging you to stay
C                                                       G    D   Em
Finding myself gripping thin air
Em                       G D Em
Gripping thin air
Em                      G D Em
Gripping thin air
