(Verse riff)
Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is


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

For this next part the chords are C#m and A, and Edge plays this with
a slide:
e----------------------------
B-54/54/52---------------- Play this a few times and then slide
G---------------------------- up to infinity....
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin


This is the third riff for the "I want you to know part":
E Esus4 C#m A
e--0----0---------4-------0----------
B--0----0---------5-------2----------
G--1----2---------6-------2----------
D--2----2---------6-------2----------
A--2----0---------4-------0----------
E--0----0---------x-------0----------

E Esus4
I want you to know
C#m A
That you don't need me anymore
E Esus4
I want you to know
C#m
You don't need anyone
A
Or anything at all


Okay now the chorus,use open chords:

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

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


(Verse riff)
It's somewhere I can taste the salty 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


Solo:
e--7/9-9---1211-11--7-7--5-5-----------------
B-----------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------- Repeat this twice
E----------------------------------------------- and then:


e----------------------------
B---------------------------- Also during this part there's a riff
G---/13119----------------- similar to the one played during the
D---------------------------- "And hardness...it set's in" part.
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

(Chorus riff)
I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

(Chorus riff)
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow


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

(Verse riff)
Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement


The last of the rocks stars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
What was the big idea
