Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply | Song Tabs

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All Air Supply

The original Air Supply version is a dramatic rock ballad, well-known for its powerful vocals and dynamic arrangement. The ChordPro file simplifies the song for guitar, making it accessible to beginners while retaining its emotional core.

Chords: G, Em, C, D, F, Am
All open chords except F, which is a barre chord. If F is difficult, try Fmaj7 (xx3210) as a substitute.

Strumming Pattern:
Start with a gentle down-down-up-up-down-up (D-D-U-U-D-U) pattern. For verses, play softly; increase strumming intensity in the chorus to match the song’s build-up.

Chord Transitions:
The progression mainly moves between G, Em, C, and D. Practice switching between these, especially G to Em and C to D. For smoother transitions, keep your index finger anchored where possible.

Techniques and Tips:

Intro and verses: play softly, focusing on clean chord changes.
Choruses: strum more strongly to emphasize dynamics.
Use a capo if needed to match your vocal range.
For the F chord, flatten your index finger across all strings on the 1st fret, but use Fmaj7 if barre chords are too difficult.

Practice slowly, focusing on timing and transitions. As you grow comfortable, add dynamics to capture the song’s emotional highs and lows.

Verse 1

IG know just how to whisper, and IEm know just how to cry

IG know just how to fake it, and IEm know just how to scheme

IC know just when to face the truth and then ID know just when to dream

Verse 2

And IG know just where to touch you, and IEm know just what to prove

IC know when to pull you closer, and ID know when to let you loose

And I'mC never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you but ID know I gotta give it a try

C Every time I see you all theD rays of the sun are all

G Streaming through the waves in yourC hair

And everyAm star in the sky is takingD aim at your eyes like aEm spotlightEm

TheC beating of my heart is aD drum and it's lost and it'sG looking for a rhythm likeC youC

You can take theAm darkness from the pit of theD night

And turn it to aG beacon burning endlesslyC bright

'CauseAm everything I know well it'sD nothing 'til I give it toG you

And I canC make you every promise that has ever been made and I canD make all your demons be gone
