D You know the distance never made a Bm D difference to me D I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked a Bm D cross the floor of any sea D A Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen Bm F#m And all that we believe A G D So I thought you were like an angel to me Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me Where a blindin' light shone on you every night And either side of my sleep Where you were held frozen like an angel to me 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 D G D Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown G D So much of the living, love, is the being unknown You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth And what's left of it, I listen to it tick Every tedious beat Going unknown as any angel to me 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 Chorus: It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la) It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la) You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la) Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown And there are some people, love, who are better unknown Mm-mm-hmm You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  Bm7  D  Dsus2  Em7  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
