Bm D A D G x2

Verse:
          Bm            A                 G
There’s a red kite in a dead tree, in the park
           Bm                    A            G
Something straight out of French new-wave movie
          Bm             A              G
There’s a mother, with a toddler in her arms
          Bm              A             G
Wondering how she’s gonna raise her baby
             Bm                A             G
The doctor spilled out all the medical jargon
           Bm       A       G
Aggressive retina degeneration
           Bm                     A                  G
She stares at that kite while the words rings in her head
      Bm                   A             G
Sorry ma’am, your son will never see again

Bm D A D G

Verse:
               Bm             A                  G
She points her finger at that kite stuck in that tree
          Bm          A              G
She says “baby, c’mon baby can’t you see?”
        Bm              A                    G
See how high it is, how bright it is, how it shines against the sky
Bm       A               G
 Can you see it if you try?
             Bm      A
But he says “I can’t see it”
 G
“Darling” she says

Chorus:
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
          Bm              A
I’m right here, I’m right here
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
         Bm               A
Dry your tears, I’m right here
      G
Right here

Bm D A D G x2

Verse:
           Bm           A             G
There’s an acne covered teenage terror
           Bm             A          G
Of upstate New York blind piano prodigy
        Bm                 A               G
All the kids call him, the next Ray Charles
         Bm             A                 G
He plays in a band with his little brother
            Bm                A
His brother guides him by the shoulder
             Bm               A
Through this dark and crowded venues
           Bm                A                 G
Trying to steer that drunken ship, through the night
       Bm             A                  G
And it hurts a little more, each time he watches his big brother tries
   Bm           A    G
To find his own way, up on a stage
          Bm      A         G
He says, “I can’t help you, let me help you”

Chorus:
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
          Bm              A
I’m right here, I’m right here
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
         Bm               A
Dry your tears, I’m right here
      G
Right here

D G Bm A

Verse:
       Bm             A                 G
When I feel like I’m stumbling in the dark
          Bm               A             G
And I get lost inside this great big world
       Bm            A
When I feel like i’m invisible
     G
Like nobody cares
Bm      A           G
 You’re always there
        Bm             G
Saying, I can see you, I can see you

Chorus:
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
          Bm              A
I’m right here, I’m right here
D                         G
Follow the sound of my voice
         Bm               A
Dry your tears, I’m right here
      G
Right here
