Verse
F# G#m C# F#
I hid myself from failure and fear
Cb G#m C# F#
Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad in us all
F# G#m C# F#
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Cb G#m C# F#
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:
F# A#m Cb F#
All through the twilight you’re listening for me
G#m F# F A#m
Darling, go to sleep
F# A#m Cb F#
Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
G#m F# F A#m
Loved so deep
Chorus:
D# D#/D D#/C# Fm
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo D# D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
D# D#/D D#/C# Fm
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
Eo D# D(B5) C#o
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
D# D#/D D#/C# Fm
And when they say that I’m just a terrible kite
Eo D# D#(B5) C#o Dm - A#m - Cb - G#m
You’ll tell them you’re proud of my marvelous flight
D#m - A#m - G#m - F#/A#

Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
