[Intro]
Eb
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
Watch the kite, it soars, then falls
[Verse 1]
Eb                  Cm          Bb
Into the fight, the metal-clad knight

   Ab          Eb
He roars then brawls

      Ab                         Bb
Then crawls into a hole where he toiled and recoiled

     Ab
Over all that he had failed

         Bb
That accolade that he'd betrayed

         Ab
Now he decayed in the dark cave

         Bb
Oh, so afraid
Where's the brigade?
           Ab
Everything fades, what will remain, oh

            Bb                  Ab
Where's the way? Where is the way?

Db   C      Cm
Hey, anyonе there?
[Verse 2]
Ab               Db
I'll take off my armour

C                  Fm
If you promisе to stay

Gb        Ab      Bbm
Wipe your weeping eye

Gb       Ab        Eb7
Lanterns light the lie

       B                    Eb/G
Of the life I'd thought I'd lived

        B                  Eb/G
In the place I thought I'd been

    B
I defend and accuse

         Eb
And it's me that brings down

    B     Eb/G
The heavy hammer

    B                 Eb/G
The gavel begins to behave on its own

        B
Then my arm turns to wood

       Eb/G
Roots wrap round my wrist
[Interlude]
Eb                    Ab Eb
Kite strings burn my palms
[Verse 3]
Eb Bb/D Cm   Bb Ab   Eb
I  am  proud to know you

      Ab
Can I make a cup of coffee?

      B
Can I sit down next to you?

             Ab
I might not speak for a while

             Bb                        Ab
But, just to be here with you, be with you

                        Bb
I might not be the best rider or fighter

      Ab                            Bb
But I think I'd like to be a little lighter

                     Ab
I could try to throw off the iron helmet

      Bb
And indulge in memories

         Ab
Make cavalries rest their heads

           Bb
Make their beds out of the trees

           Ab
Up on the trees

                              Bb
All that I lost is still with me

                      Ab
With the moss we will become the beacon

      Bb                    Ab
Which beckons me beyond the cave

  C
I caved out

Ab      Db
Take my shield

   C             Fm
And blade off of me

Gb       Ab     Bbm
Melt the silver down

Gb        Ab     Bbm
I'll make you a crown
[Verse 4]
         Db              Gb
Then the wind stops, the clock ticks on

    Ab                   Db
My stiffened heart grows tighter
I searched from the moon
                     Bbm
And down towards the fish

        Db           Gb
And the tide and the moon

Ab             Bbm
Had their own alliance

   Db           Gb
I stood with my ghost

     Ab              Bb
We tried to hold the kite

          Ab              Db
My wooden hand, my wooden heart

            Gb                    Db
Now all the fights are fought and moments gone

    G                               Db   N.C.
But still, they must be here, they must, but
[Verse 5]
B/F#    Eb/G
Are you there?

B/F#    Eb/G
Can you see me?

B/F#    Eb/G
Are you listening?

B/F#       Eb/G
Won't you stay now?

    B/F#          Eb/G
The rain's coming down

    B/F#           Eb/G
The wind's blowing high

B/F#     Eb/G
Thunder closer

B/F#         Eb/G
Lightning striking
[Instrumental Break] Eb Ab A G C Db G C F Gb Eb Abm Abm Abm Abm Gb [Chorus]
   Gb  B             Eb
We hurtle through the sky

  B/F#   Eb
Shredded kite in the trees

    B     Eb   B    Eb
The sun's gone home now

Eb
But our hands reach

 B        Eb
Clammed together

[Outro]
Eb
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
