Verse 1:
Am               E             F                   C
  What would you like me to explain before we get started?
Am                  F                    C
  Don’t want to get deep ’cause I’m on a high
Am               E                        F              C
  You gotta come down, I’m way too fucked up to be that brilliant
Am         F                       C
  Causing emotions and feelings sublime
            E
You’re just pulling too tight

Chorus:
F   C           A7      Dm     G    Dm
Hey man, you’re hanging on too tight
                G            F  C
A stupid yellow kite, let me go
 
 
Verse 2:
Am             E                F                 C
  I laid on my back, flat and strained like a distortion
Am                F                     C
  The weather was warm, my life in your hands
Am           E               F                    C
  It was easier when I just stuttered through my existence
Am                     F                  C         E
  Now I swing back and forth, chasing the wind from end to end
 
 
Chorus:
F   C           A7      Dm     G  C
Hey man, you’re hanging on too tight
F                Dm   G Dm        G
 A stupid yellow kite
let me go
Dm       G
  Let me go
 
 
Bridge:

  Let me slip away, let me slip away
             Bb7               Eb Gm Dm
Let me slip away, let me slip away
             Bb7
Let me slip away, let me slip away
 
 
Chorus:
F   C           A7      Dm     G  C

Hey man, you’re hanging on too tight
