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

Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy

If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in thе mind of me
D MajorD            Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2       A augmentedA B minorBm
Where a blinding light shonе on you every night
     F# minorF#m
Either side of my sleep

Where you were held frozen like an angel to me

It ain't the being alone

You know I'm good on my own
      Dsus2Dsus2          G+G G MajorG   D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
                    G+G   D MajorD
So much of the living, love, is the being unknown
D MajorD  B minorBm D MajorD

🎸 Verse 3:
D MajorD            Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2       B minorBm D MajorD
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
D MajorD            Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2       B minorBm D MajorD
You smile now
I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
D MajorD              Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2  A augmentedA B minorBm
And what's left of it
I listen to it tick
    F# minorF#m
Every tedious beat

A augmentedA           G+G G MajorG   D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Going unknown as any angel to me

Dsus2Dsus2
It ain't the being alone
E minor 7Em7
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la

It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
Bm7Bm7            E minor 7Em7
You know I'm good on my own
       Dsus2Dsus2         G+G G MajorG   D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
                      G+G   D MajorD
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
