[Verse 1]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D Watch the kite, it soars, then falls D D/C# D/B D/A Into the fight, the metal-clad knight G D He roars then brawls G A7sus4 Then crawls into a hole where he toiled and recoiled G Over all that he had failed A7sus4 That accolade that he'd betrayed G Now he decayed in the dark cave A7sus4 Oh, so afraid, where's the brigade? G Everything fades, what will remain, oh A7 Where's the way? Where is the way? G C B He - ey, anyone there?
[Pre-Chorus]
G C I'll take off my armour B Em If you promise to stay F G Am Wipe your weeping eye F G D7 Lanterns light the lie
[Chorus]
Bb D Of the life I'd thought I'd lived Bb D In the place I thought I'd been Bb I defend and accuse D And it's me that brings down Bb D The heavy hammer Bb D The gavel begins to behave on its own Bb Then my arm turns to wood D Roots wrap round my wrist
[Verse 2]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D Kite strings burn my palms D D/C# D/B D/A G D I am proud to know you G Can I make a cup of coffee? A7sus4 Can I sit down next to you? G I might not speak for a while A7sus4 But, just to be here with you, be with you G A7sus4 I might not be the best rider or fighter G A7sus4 But I think I'd like to be a little lighter G I could try to throw off the iron helmet A7sus4 And indulge in memories G Make cavalries rest their heads A7sus4 Make their beds out of the trees G Up on the trees A7sus4 All that I lost is still with me G With the moss we will become the beacon A7 G Which beckons me beyond the cave C B I caved out
[Pre-Chorus]
G C Take my shield B Em And blade off of me F G Am Melt the silver down F G Am I'll make you a crown
[Bridge]
C F Then the wind stops, the clock ticks on G Am My stiffened heart grows tighter C F I searched from the moon G Am And down towards the fish C F And the tide and the moon G Am Had their own alliance C F I stood with my ghost G Am We tried to hold the kite
N.C.
My wooden hand, my wooden heart
Now all the fights are fought and moments gone
But still, they must be here, they must, but
[Chorus]
Bb D Are you there? Bb D Can you see me? Bb D Are you listening? Bb D Won't you stay now? Bb D The rain's coming down Bb D The wind's blowing high Bb D Thunder closer Bb D Lightning striking
(the breakdown is a big chromatic thing, just make sure to land on F)
[Outro]
F Bb D We hurtle through the sky Bb D Shredded kite in the trees Bb Bbaug The sun's gone home now Bb Bbaug But our hands reach Bb Bbaug Clammed together D Ahh...
