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
