Tuning: E A D G B E
It may be played in drop D to make the powerchords on the lowest strings easier, but I don't find that to be
necessary to play the song.
I think it's in the key of D minor and not A minor because the B-natural can be borrowed from F lydian.

I fight for air, don't keep me there
Don't keep me there, I fight for air
