Air Supply

The song starts with a repeating synth line that, if played on guitar, is played like this:

After that repeats 8 times the drums come in, and after 8 more measures the intro starts.
Gm F/C Eb/Bb F/C (x4) (Play these as barre chords)

Gm                             F/C
Don't you make me smile if you don't intend to
Eb/Bb                     F/C
Only maybe try if you can pretend to
Gm                              F/C
Well, here is my mission, my reason, my statement
Eb/Bb             F/C
My complaint
Gm                               F/C
Hardly pushed your luck, focused all intention
Eb/Bb                                  F/C
Don't you think I mind when you said you meant to?
Gm                             F/C
Open up the blinds, pull the curtain, the window
Eb/Bb            F/C
Run away

(This part is in 7/8. Strum and hold the Gm chords for 4 beats, and the Cm chords for 3)
Gm                       Cm6
You and I (keep with me, love, pretend to)
Gm                       Cm6
You and I (came with my love undercover)
Gm                     Cm6
You and I ('til we seduced each other)
Gm         Cm6
You-ah-da-da-da-da
Gm                  Cm6
You and I (and many lies that don't follow)
Gm                      Cm6
You and I (suffered and then we'll recover)
Gm                        Cm6
You and I (and then we're cutting off each other's air supply)
Then play the Intro again

Gm                                        F/C
Girls who spend their lives in disgusting gestures
Eb/Bb                             F/C
Always seeking boys to relieve the tension
Gm                              F/C
Maybe you know better, you know something, you know me?
Eb/Bb            F/C
Come and play
Gm                          F/C
Baby, if you try, please do not content to
Eb/Bb                           F/C
Anybody knows, you know, I'd cross your temple
Gm                           F/C
Girl, you are the reason, my mission, my lover
Eb/Bb            F/C
My complaint

Gm                       Cm6
You and I (keep with me, love, pretend to)
Gm                       Cm6
You and I (came with my love undercover)
Gm                     Cm6
You and I ('til we seduced each other)
Gm         Cm6
You-ah-da-da-da-da
Gm                  Cm6
You and I (and many lies that don't follow)
Gm                      Cm6
You and I (suffered and then we'll recover)
Gm                        Cm6
You and I (and then we're cutting off each other's air supply)
Gm
The chord sequence from the intro is then played until the end, where the song ends of Gm.
During this time the lead guitar plays a solo.
