Verse 1:

I hid myself from failure and fear

Oh my dear you?re a threat to the bad in us all

BbGmCF
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Pre-Chorus:

All through the twilight you?re listening for me
GmFEAm
Darling, go to sleep
FAmBbF
Cradled by moonlight, I?m dreaming we?ll be
GmFEAm
Loved so deep
Chorus:
DD/C#D/CEm
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Eo D D(b5) C#o
?Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
DD/C#D/CEm
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
DD/C#D/CEm
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

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