[Intro]
 
  
  
  
     

[Verse 1]
             
You know the d

          
istance never 

       
made a differe

         
nce to me
             
I swam a lake 

          
of fire, I'd h

       
ave walked acr

         
oss the floor 

of any sea
             
Ignored the va

          
stness between

       
 all that can 

         
be seen
             
And all that w

#
e believe

[Chorus]
             
So I thought y

              
ou were like a

          
n angel to me

   

[Verse 2]
             
Funny how true

          
 colors shine 

       
in darkness an

         
d in secrecy
             
If there were 

          
scarlet flags,

       
 they washed o

         
ut in thе mind

 of me
             
Where a blindi

          
ng light shonе

       
 on you every 

         
night
         
Either side of

 my sleep

[Chorus]
             
Where you were

              
 held frozen l

            
ike an angel t

    
o me

[Post-Chorus]

It ain't the b

eing alone

Sha-la-la
         
It ain't the e

              
mpty home, bab

 
y
           
You know I'm g

             
ood on my own
           
Sha-la-la, bab

            
y, no, it's mo

            
re the being u

      
nknown
              
So much of the

              
 living, love,

             
 is the being 

    
unknown
     

[Verse 3]
             
You called me 

          
angel for the 

       
first time, my

         
 heart leapt f

rom me
             
You smile now,

          
 I can see its

       
 pieces still 

         
stuck in your 

teeth
             
And what's lef

              
t of it, I lis

       
ten to it tick
       
Every tedious 

beat

[Chorus]
             
Going unknown 

            
as any angel t

   
o me

[Bridge]
         
Do you know I 

      
could break be

neath the weig

ht
           
Of the goodnes

             
s love I still

          
 carry for you
         
That I'd walk 

    
so far just to

 take
             
The injury of 

        
finally knowin

g you

[Post-Chorus]

It ain't the b

eing alone

Sha-la-la, sha

-la-la, la, la

-la
         
It ain't the e

           
mpty home, bab

la-la-la)
           
You know I'm g

             
ood on my own
              
Sha-la-la, bab

         
y, no, it's mo

            
re the being u

      
nknown
              
And there are 

              
some people, l

              
ove, who are b

       
etter unknown
