Verse
B C#m F# B
I hid myself from failure and fear

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