D Bm D
A Bm F#m
Dsus2 G G D Dsus2 Bm
 
[Verse 1]
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             Bm D
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
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             A Bm
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
             F#m
And all that we believe
 
[Chorus]
A                              G G     D Dsus2
So I thought you were like an angel to me
 
D Dsus2 Em7 Bm7
 
[Verse 2]
D                       Dsus4 D Dsus2             Bm D
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]
A                                   G G      D Dsus2
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
 
[Post-Chorus]
Dsus2
It ain't the being alone
Em7
Sha-la-la
Dsus2                        Em7
It ain't the empty home, baby
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
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
 
[Bridge]
Em7    Bm           G
Do you know I could break beneath the weight
       Em7              A             G
Of the goodness love I still carry for you
Em7       Bm      G
That I'd walk so far just to take
    D          A       G
The injury of finally knowing you
 
[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
