[Intro]
G D G D A F#m G D G
[Verse 1]
G D
You know the distance never made a difference to me
G D
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
A F#m
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
G D
And all that we believe
[Chorus]
G D G
So I thought you were like an angel to me
[Verse 2]
G G D
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
D G D
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me
D A F#m
Where a blinding light shone on you every night
G D
Either side of my sleep
[Chorus]
G D
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
[Post-Chorus]
F#m7 Em7
It ain't the being alone
Sha-la-la
F#m7 Em7
It ain't the empty home, baby
F#m7 Em7
You know I'm good on my own
G D
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
G D
So much of the living, love, is the being unknown
[Verse 3]
G G D
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
G D
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
D
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
A F#m
Every tedious beat
[Chorus]
G D
Going unknown as any angel to me
[Post-Chorus]
F#m7 Em7
It ain't the being alone
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la
F#m7 Em7
It ain't the empty home, baby
Sha-la-la, la-la-la
F#m7 Em7
You know I'm good on my own
G D
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
G D
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
[Outro]
G D G D A F#m G D G
You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe
So I thought you were like an angel to me
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me
Where a blinding light shone on you every night
Either side of my sleep
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
It ain't the being alone
(Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby
You know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
So much of the living, love, is the being unknown
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
Every tedious beat
Going unknown as any angel to me
It ain't the being alone
(Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
