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

 (repeat)
     A                  
 And hardness It sets in
                  C#m                     A   
 You need some protection 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   
 I want you to know You don't need anyone
                A  
 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                                        
 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
                             E  
 I know that this is not goodbye
