Intro: C  Am   G   F 2x 
 
Verse: 
 
           C                Am 
The Sunday after, there was laughter in the air 
     G                              F 
Everybody had a kite, and they were flying everywhere 
            C                        Am 
And all the trouble went away and it wasn't just a dream 
            G                        F 
And all the trouble went away and it wasn't just a dream 
 
 
              F                               G 
In the middle of the night, we try and try with all our mights 
   Am             G          F 
To light a little light down here 
       F                             G 
In the middle of the night, we dream of a million kites 
       Am             G               F 
Flying high above the sadness and the fear      
 
BREAK: C  Am  G  F 2x 
 
 
Verse: 
 
Little sister, just remember as you wander through the blue 
The little kite that you sent flying on a Sunday afternoon 
Made of something light as nothing made of joy that matters too 
How the little dreams we dream are all we can really do 
 
Chorus 2:  
 
       F                              G      
In the middle of the night, the world turns with all its might 
  Am            G        F  
A little diamond colored blue 
       F                            G      
In the middle of the night, we keep sending little kites 
  Am           G          F 
Until a little light gets through 
 
Outro:  C  Am  G  F 2x
