Verse 1:
D A
I've watched the world go by, outside a window I
F#m G
Still can't believe where I am now
D A
It's been forever long, adventures come and gone
F#m G
And I'm left alone but not let down
Pre-Chorus:
Bm A
Cause I have found a gravity, a voice that pulls me
F#m G
To my knees, telling me remember where you're from
Chorus:
D A
This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
Bm G
Canvasses behind my eyes, all the colours of my life
D A
This southern air is in my lungs
It's in every word I've sung
Bm G
It seems the only truth I know
This will always be home
Break: D

F#m G

Cause I have left this gravity, grab a hold and carry me
F#m G
And I will not forget where I am from
A
Forget where I am from

This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
