Intro cont: E, Asus2, E, Asus2
[E]Something [Asus2]is about to [E]give
[Asus2]I can feel it [E]coming
[Asus2]I think I know what it [E]means
[Asus2]Iâ??m not afraid t[E]o die
[Asus2]Iâ??m not afraid t[E]o live
[Asus2]And when Iâ??[E]m flat on my back
[Asus2]I hope to feel like I [E]did[Asus2]
â??Caus[A]e hardness, it sets in
You need some pro[C#m]tection
The thinner the [A]skin
[E]I want you to kno[A]w
That [C#m]you donâ??t need me a[Aadd9]nymore[E]
I want you to [A]know
You donâ??t nee[C#m]d anyone, anything a[Aadd9]t all
[E5]Whoâ??s to say where the wind will take you
[B5]Whoâ??s to know what it is will break you
[A5]I donâ??t know which way the wind will blow
[E5]Whoâ??s to know when the time has come around
[B5]Donâ??t wanna see you c[A5]ry
I know that this is not goodbye[E]
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, Asus2, E, Asus2
In [E]summer I can taste the [Asus2]salt in the sea
Thereâ??s [E]a kite blowing out of c[Asus2]ontrol on a breeze
I [E]wonder whatâ??s gonn[Asus2]a happen to you
You [E]wonder what has happened to [Asus2]me
A, C#m, A
Iâ??m [E5]a m[B5]an
Iâ??m not [A5]a child
A [E5]man who [B5]sees
The [A5]shadow behind your eyes
[E5]Whoâ??s to say where the wind will take you
[B5]Whoâ??s to know what it is will break you
[A5]I donâ??t know where the wind will blow
[E5]Whoâ??s to know when the time has come around
[B5](I) donâ??t want to see you c[A5]ry
I know that this is not good[E]bye
Asus2, E, Asus2
Did I [E]waste it?
[Asus2]Not so much I couldnâ??[E]t taste it
[Asus2]Life should be [E]fragrant
[Asus2]Rooftop to the [E]basement
[Asus2]The last of the [E]rock stars
[Asus2]When hip-hop drove the [E]big cars
[Asus2]In the time when new [E]media
[Asus2]Was the big i[E]dea
[Asus2]That was the big i[E]dea

By Matthew Oâ??Reilly.
Interesting note, (well I think so). As some people know, this song
is about Bono raising his kids and the enjoyment and pain thatâ??s been
part of the deal. The title â??Kiteâ?? came about from one time when Bono
took his kids out on top of a hill and tried to fly a kite with them.
Unfortunately the Kite crashed and his kids responded sarcastically
â??Wow, that was great, Dad. Can we go play some videogames now?â??
Interesting Note 2. On the recent Elevation Tour, at many shows, and
the show I saw in Birmingham, Bono started Kite off by saying that
originally he thought the song was written by him to his kids. But
he has come to realise as his father was dying, that it was written
