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

Don’t hide yourself inside ‘till I’m old

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