Verse 1:
        D MajorD
Just as she patched it up
      Bm/D
It came unravelled
D MajorD              Bm/D
A augmentedA crash, collapse into the trees
      D MajorD          Bm/D
A augmentedA mess of garden twine and red fabric
 D MajorD           Bm/D
Tangled up good in the leaves
            F# minorF#m
She's getting tired of fixing the frame
         E minorEm
Nothing's made to last

Chorus:
          D MajorD
She let go of her kite
          F# minorF#m
It was as easy as switching off the light
           E minorEm
She watched it as it flew
          A augmentedA
It felt like the right thing


Verse 2:
   D MajorD       Bm/D
It starts out so enchanting
   D MajorD             Bm/D
You just can't live without it
      D MajorD         Bm/D
A augmentedA shiny present in its wrapping
      D MajorD              Bm/D
You can picture yourself and how it happens
          F# minorF#m
And the newness wears thin
         E minorEm
Nothing's made to last

Chorus:
          D MajorD
She let go of her kite
          F# minorF#m
It was as easy as switching off the light
           E minorEm
She watched it as it flew
          A augmentedA
It felt like the right thing

Verse 3:
   D MajorD            Bm/D
They got it together in November
      D MajorD        Bm/D
A augmentedA stormy wind ripped her coat
      D MajorD           Bm/D
A augmentedA running start, and they were sailing
    D MajorD        Bm/D
It was easy until the tether broke
      F# minorF#m             E minorEm
You start over, and nothing's made to last


Chorus:
          D MajorD
She let go of her kite
          F# minorF#m

           E minorEm
She watched it as it flew
          A augmentedA
It felt like the right thing

Verse 4:
      D MajorD          Bm/D
For a few minutes she didn't move
    D MajorD              Bm/D
Just stood still and watched the air float through
    D MajorD        Bm/D
The reel empty in her hands
     D MajorD          Bm/D
Here's hoping it never has to land
         F# minorF#m
It moved out of view
            E minorEm
And nothing's made to last


Chorus:
          D MajorD
She let go of her kite
          F# minorF#m
It was as easy as switching off the light
           E minorEm
She watched it as it flew
          A augmentedA
It felt like the right thing
          D MajorD
She let go of her kite
          F# minorF#m
It was as easy as switching off the light
           E minorEm
She watched it as it flew
          A augmentedA
It felt like the right thing
          D MajorD
The right thing to do
