(G)Love is in the air, everywhere I look a(C)round,
(G)Love is in the air, every sight and every (C)sound.
And I (D)don't know if I'm being (Em)foolish,
(D)Don't know if I'm feeling (Em)wise.
But it's (Cm)something that I must be(G)lieve in,
And it's (Em7)there when I (Em)look in your (D)eyes.

(G)Love is in the air, in the whisper of a (C)tree,
(G)Love is in the air, in the thunder of the (C)sea.
And I (D)don't know if I am just (Em)dreaming,
(D)Don't hear if I'm feeling (Em)safe.
But it's (Cm)something that  I must be(G)lieve in,
And it's (Em7)there when you (Em)call out my (D)name.
                  
(G)Love is in the air,(Em)(C)        
Love is in the air.

Oh, (G)love is in the air, in the rising of the (C)sun,
(G)Love is in the air, when the day is nearly (C)done.
But I (D)don't know if you're an il(Em)lusion,
(D)Don't know if I see the (Em)truth,
But there's (Cm)something that I must be(G)lieve in,
and you're (Em7)there when I (Em)reach out for (D)you.

(G)Love is in the air, everywhere I look a(C)round,
(G)Love is in the air, every sight and every (C)sound.
And I (D)don't know if I'm being (Em)foolish,
(D)Don't know if I'm feeling (Em)wise.
But it's (Cm)something that I must be(G)lieve in,
And it's (Em7)there when I (Em)look in your (D)eyes.

(G)Love is in the air,(Em)(C)        
Love is in the air.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
