This song is great, one of the most beautiful in the
album. Epic flavour, big power, big passion.
It could have been recorded in 'Achtung Baby',
because calls to mind songs like 'So Cruel'.
The chords are very easy.

E     A     (x4)

 E          A
Something
             E     A     
Is about to give
               E       A
I can feel it coming
                       E    A
I think I know what it is

                   E    A
I'm not afraid to die
                   E     A
I'm not afraid to live
               E            A
And when I'm flat on my back
                       E    A
I hope to feel like I did

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

E                 A
  I want you to know
  B    C#m      B             A
That you don't need me anymore
E                 A
  I want you to know
B              C#m
You don't need anyone
   B           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

E     A     (x4)

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

       E    B
I'm a man
     B      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
Who's to say what it is will break you
A
I don't know
           A
Where the wind will blow

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

E     A

       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            A
The last of the rocks 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
What was the big idea
