E A E A E

Something is about to give, I can feel it coming

A E

I think I know what it is.

A E A E

I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid to live

A E A E

When I'm flat on my back, I want to feel like I did.

A C#m

Cause hardness, it sets in, you need some protection

A

The thinner the skin.

E A C#m A

I want you to know, that you don't need me anymore

E A C#m A

I want you to know, that you don't need anyone, or anything at all.

CHORUS:

E

Who's to say where the wind will take you

B

Who's to say what it is will break you

A

Well, I don't know, which way the wind will blow.

E

Who's to know when the time is come around

B A

Don't want to see your cry, I know that this is not goodbye.

VERSE:

E-A-E-A, etc.

In the summer I can taste the salt on the sea

There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze

I wonder what's gonna happen to you

You wonder what has happened to me.
