Tabbed by: Víctor Marín
From: Venezuela


My first version of the song, hope you like it. This is a special one,
dedicated to Alejandra, once again, now I realize how great this band is.
As Bono said, "this song is about letting go someone you don't wanna let
go, could be a lover, could be a child, could be a friend...this is KITE".
Enjoy

Something

Is about to give

And when I'm flat on my back

And hardness

It sets in

You need some protection

The thinner the skin

I want you to know

That you don't need me anymore

I want you to know

You don't need anyone
A
Or anything at all


E
Who's to say where the wind will take you
B
Who's to say what it is will break you
A
I don't know

Which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around
B A
Don't want to see you cry
A
I know that this is not goodbye

You wonder what has happened to me

Did I waste it

Not so much I couldn't taste it

Life should be fragrant

Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rock stars
E A
When hip hop drove the big cars
E A
In the time when new media
E A
Was the big idea
E A
That was the big idea
