Verse
G Am D G

Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:

All through the twilight you’re listening for me

Darling, go to sleep
G Bm C G
Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
Am G F# Bm
Loved so deep
Chorus:
E E/D# E/D F#m
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo E D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
E E/D# E/D F#m
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
Eo E D(B5) C#o
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
E E/D# E/D F#m
And when they say that I’m just a terrible kite
