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:
                   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


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:
                   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


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:
                   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
                   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
                    D
The right thing to do
