Verse
E F#m B E
I hid myself from failure and fear
A F#m B E
Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad in us all
E F#m B E
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
A F#m B E
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:
E G#m A E
All through the twilight you’re listening for me
F#m E D# G#m
Darling, go to sleep
E G#m A E
Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
F#m E D# G#m
Loved so deep
Chorus:
C# C#/C C#/B D#m
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo C# D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
C# C#/C C#/B D#m
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
Eo C# D(B5) C#o
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
C# C#/C C#/B D#m
And when they say that I’m just a terrible kite
Eo C# C#(B5) C#o Dm - G#m - A - F#m
You’ll tell them you’re proud of my marvelous flight
C#m - G#m - F#m - E/G#
Verse 2:
E F#m B E
Don’t hide yourself inside ‘till I’m old
A F#m B E
Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad we all see
E F#m B E
I’m beside myself for the touch of your lips
A F#m B E
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
(Pre-Chorus)
Chorus:
C# C#/C C#/B D#m
