Tom : D
D Bm/D D Bm/D
[Verse 1]
D
Just as she patched it up
Bm/D
It came unravelled
D Bm/D
A crash, collapse into the trees
D Bm/D
A mess of garden twine and red fabric
D Bm/D
Tangled up good in the leaves
F#m
She's getting tired of fixing the frame
Em
Nothing's made to last
[Chorus]
D
She let go of her kite
F#m
It was as easy as switching off the light
Em
She watched it as it flew
A
It felt like the right thing
[Verse 2]
D Bm/D
It starts out so enchanting
D Bm/D
You just can't live without it
D Bm/D
A shiny present in its wrapping
D Bm/D
You can picture yourself and how it happens
F#m
And the newness wears thin
Em
Nothing's made to last
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
D F#m Em A
[Verse 3]
D Bm/D
They got it together in November
D Bm/D
A stormy wind ripped her coat
D Bm/D
A running start, and they were sailing
D Bm/D
It was easy until the tether broke
F#m Em
You start over, and nothing's made to last
[Chorus]
[Interlude]
D F#m Em A
[Verse 4]
D Bm/D
For a few minutes she didn't move
D Bm/D
Just stood still and watched the air float through
D Bm/D
The reel empty in her hands
D Bm/D
Here's hoping it never has to land
F#m
It moved out of view
Em
And nothing's made to last
[Chorus 2x]
[Próxima Parte]
D
The right thing to do
