Verse
A Bm E A
I hid myself from failure and fear
D Bm E A
Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad in us all
A Bm E A
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
D Bm E A
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:
A C#m D A
All through the twilight you’re listening for me
Bm A G# C#m
Darling, go to sleep
A C#m D A
Cradled by moonlight, I’m dreaming we’ll be
Bm A G# C#m
Loved so deep
Chorus:
F# F#/F F#/E G#m
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo F# D(B5) C#o
‘Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
F# F#/F F#/E G#m
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
Eo F# D(B5) C#o
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
F# F#/F F#/E G#m
And when they say that I’m just a terrible kite
Eo F# F#(B5) C#o Dm - C#m - D - Bm
You’ll tell them you’re proud of my marvelous flight
F#m - C#m - Bm - A/C#
Verse 2:

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

Oh my dear you’re a threat to the bad we all see

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