You know the distance never made a difference to me
D            Dsus4 D Dsus2       Bm D
I swam a lake of fire
I'd have walked across the floor of any sea

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

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

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
