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

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