Kite
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
Dm - Am - Gm - F/A

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