[Intro 1]
[F][C]
[F][C]
[F][C]
[G][Am][Em]
[F][C]

[Verse 1]
[F]You[C] know the distance
never made a difference to me
[F]I s[C]wam a lake of fire,
I'd have walked across the [F]floor of any [C]sea
Ignored the vastness between
all that can be [G]seen
And [Am]all that w[Em]e believe
So I thought you were like an [F]angel to [C]me

[Verse 2]
[F]Fun[C]ny how true
colours shine in darkness and in [F]secrecy[C]
If there were scarlet flags
They washed out in the [F]mind of [C]me
Where a blinding light
shone on you every [G]night
And [Am]either [Em]side of my sleep
Where you were held frozen
like an [F]angel to [C]me

[Chorus 1]
It ain't the [Em]being a[Dm]lone
Sha-la-la (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
It ain't the [Em]empty home, [Dm]baby
Sha-la-la (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
You know I'm [Em]good on my [Dm]own
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, baby,
you know it's more the [F]being un[C]known
So much of the living, love,
is the [F]being un[C]known

[Verse 3]
[F]You[C] called me angel for the first time,
my heart [F]leapt from [C]me
You smile now,
I can see its pieces still [F]stuck in your [C]teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it [G]tick
[Am]Every [Em]tedious beat going unknown
as any [F]angel to [C]me

[Bridge 1]
[C]Do you kno[Am]w,
I could [F]break beneath the weight
Of the [C]goodness, love, I [G]still carry [F]for you?
[C]That I'd wal[Am]k so far[F] just to take
The [C]in- jury of [G]finally [F]knowing you

[Chorus 2]
It ain't the [Em]being a[Dm]lone
Sha-la-la (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
It ain't the [Em]empty home, [Dm]baby
Sha-la-la (sha-la-la-la-la-la)
You know I'm [Em]good on my [Dm]own
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, baby,
you know it's more the [F]being un[C]known

[Outro 1]
And there are some people, love, who are
[F](better un[C]known)
[F][C]
[F][C]
[G][Am][Em]
