🎸 Intro: Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D A Bm7 F#m7 G D 🎸 Verse 1: Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D You know the distance never made a difference to me Gmaj7 D I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea A Bm7 Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen F#m7 And all that we believe N.C. G D So I thought you were like an angel to me Gmaj7 Em7 Bm7
🎸 Verse 2: Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Funny how true colours shine in darkness and in secrecy Gmaj7 D If there were scarlet flags they washed out in the mind of me A Where a blinding light shone on you every night Bm7 F#m7 And either side of my sleep N.C. G D Where you were held frozen like an angel to me 🎸 Chorus: F#m7 Em7 It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la) F#m7 Em7 It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la) F#m7 Em7 You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la) G D Sha-la-la, baby, you know it's more the being unknown Gmaj7 D So much of the living, love, is the being unknown Gmaj7 D 🎸 Verse 3: Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me Gmaj7 D You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth A Bm7 And what's left of it, I listen to it tick F#m7 Every tedious beat N.C. G D Going unknown as any angel to me D 🎸 Bridge: D Bm7 G Do you know, I could break beneath the weight D A G Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you? D Bm7 G That I'd walk so far just to take D A G The injury of finally knowing you 🎸 Chorus: F#m7 Em7 It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la) F#m7 Em7 It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la) F#m7 Em7 You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la) G D Sha-la-la, baby, you know it's more the being unknown N.C. Gmaj7 D And there are some people, love, who are better unknown 🎸 Outro: Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D A Bm7 F#m7 G D Gmaj7 D
