Hozier - Angel To Me

[Intro]

G D G D A F#m G D G

[Verse 1]
G D
You know the distance never made a difference to me
G D
I swam a lake of fire, I’d have walked across the floor of any sea
A F#m
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
G D
And all that we believe

[Chorus]
G D G
So I thought you were like an angel to me

[Verse 2]
G G D
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
D G D
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me
D A F#m
Where a blinding light shone on you every night
G D
Either side of my sleep

[Chorus]
G D
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me

[Post-Chorus]
F#m7 Em7
It ain’t the being alone

Sha-la-la
F#m7 Em7
It ain’t the empty home, baby
F#m7 Em7
You know I’m good on my own
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

[Verse 3]
G G D
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
G D
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
D
And what’s left of it, I listen to it tick
A F#m
Every tedious beat

[Chorus]
G D
Going unknown as any angel to me

[Post-Chorus]
F#m7 Em7
It ain’t the being alone

Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la
F#m7 Em7
It ain’t the empty home, baby

Sha-la-la, la-la-la
F#m7 Em7
You know I’m good on my own
G D
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it’s more the being unknown
G D
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown

[Outro]
