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
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             Bm D
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in thе mind of me
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             A Bm
Where a blinding light shonе on you every night
         F#m
Either side of my sleep

🎸 Chorus:

Where you were held frozen like an angel to me

It ain't the being alone

It ain't the empty home, baby

You know I'm good on my own
           Dsus2                    G G      D   Dsus2
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
                                        G     D
So much of the living, love, is the being unknown
D    Bm D

🎸 Verse 3:
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             Bm D
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             Bm D
You smile now
I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
D                            Dsus4 D Dsus2   A Bm
And what's left of it
I listen to it tick
       F#m
Every tedious beat

🎸 Chorus:
A                     G G     D Dsus2
Going unknown as any angel to me

🎸 Post-Chorus:
Dsus2
It ain't the being alone
Em7
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la
Dsus2                    Em7              G
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
Bm7                        Em7
You know I'm good on my own
              Dsus2                 G G      D   Dsus2
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
                                            G     D
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
