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

Verse with riff 1

E         A
Something       
               E
Is about to give
  A            E
I can feel it coming 
      A               E
I think I know what it means
    A               E
I'm not afraid to die
    A               E
I'm not afraid to live
    A               E
And when I'm flat on my back
     A                 E
I hope to feel like I did


      A
And hardness
      A
It sets in
       C#m
You need some protection
       A
The thinner the skin

E                A
I want you to know
C#m                          A
That you don't need me anymore
E                A
I want you to know
C#m                  
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
A
Which way the wind will blow


E
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

[Intro] w/riff 1:

E                         A     
It's summer, I can taste the salty sea
E                               A 
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
E                                A
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
E                               A
You wonder what has happened to me

E              B
I'm a man
            A
I'm not a child
E           B
A man who sees
A                
The shadow behind your eyes


E                                       
Who's to say where the wind will take you
B

[INTRO] w/riif 1:

E            A
Did I waste it
E                            A
Not so much I couldn't taste it
E                   A
Life should be fragrant
E                   A
Rooftop to the basement

E                      E
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
