[Intro]
G D
[Verse 1]
You know the distance never made a
G D
difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked
G D
across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can
Bm
be seen
G N.C.
And all that we believe
[Chorus]
G D
So I thought you were like an angel to me
Funny how true colors shine in darkness
G D
and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed
G D
out in the mind of me
Where a blinding light shone on you every
Bm
night
G D
Either side of my sleep
[Chorus]
G
Where you were held frozen like an angel
D
to me
[Post-Chorus]
G D
It ain't the being alone, Sha-la-la
G D
It ain't the empty home, baby
Bm Em
You know I'm good on my own
G
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being
D
unknown
G
So much of the living, love, is the being
D
unknown
You called me angel for the first time
G D
my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still
G D
stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it
Bm
tick
G D
Every tedious beat
[Chorus]
G D
Going unknown as any angel to me
[Post-Chorus]
G D
It ain't the being alone, Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la
G D
It ain't the empty home, baby, Sha-la-la, la-la-la
Bm Em
You know I'm good on my own
G
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being
D
unknown
And there are some people, love, who are
G D
