Verse 1:
F       Gm         C           F
I hid myself from failure and fear
      Bb             Gm           C         F
Oh my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
F             Gm               C              F
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
        Bb           Gm       C          F
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall

Pre-Chorus:
F                Am             Bb            F   
All through the twilight you're listening for me
Gm       F      E    Am  
Darling, go to sleep
F          Am              Bb            F   
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Gm    F   E   Am  
Loved so deep

Chorus:
  D           D/C#            D/C         Em     
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
          Eo              D          D(b5)       C#o   
'Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
         D              D/C#          D/C          Em     
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
      Eo          D         D(b5)          C#o   
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
          D            D/C#       D/C      Em     
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
       Eo               D           D(b5) C#o  Dm - Am - Bb - Gm    
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight

F              Gm      C             F
Don't hide yourself inside 'till I'm old
      Bb             Gm           C          F
Oh my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
F            Gm           C              F
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
        Bb           Gm            C           F
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
