A Matter of Trust chords
Start Jamming...
[D] One, two, one, two, three, four
[Bm] Some
[D] [Bm]
[D] love is [Bm] just a lie of the heart
[D] The told remains of [Bm] what began with a flash on its [F#m] dot
And they may not want it [A] to end
But what it will is just a question [D] of when
I've lived [Bm] long enough to have learned
[D] The closer you get [Bm] to the fire the more you [F#m] get burned
But that won't happen [A] to us
Cause it's always been a matter [D] of just
[Bm]
Oh
Now
[D] I'm [Bm] an emotional girl
[D] It's too bad for [Bm] you to not lose your faith in [F#m] this world
I can't [A] offer you proof
But you'll go a place a moment [D] loves you
It's hard [Bm] when you're always afraid
[D] You just recover [Bm] when another belief is [F#m] betrayed
So break my heart if [A] you must
It's a matter of trust
[G] You can go the distance
[F#m] With too much resistance
[Em] I know you [A] have doubts
[D] But for God's sake don't shut [G] me out
[A] [D] This time [Bm] you've got nothing to lose
[D] You can take it, [Bm] you can leave it, whatever [F#m] you choose
I won't hold [A] back anything
And I'll walk away a fool [D] or a cheat
Some love is [Bm] just a lie of the mind
[D] This life will leave [Bm] until it's only a matter of [F#m] time
And some might have learned [A] to adjust
But it never was a matter [D] of just
So [Bm]
[F#m]
[A]
[G] in awe of [F#m] people
A share of [Em] believing [A] Grew long
[D] And the whole situation [G] was wrong
[A] [D] Some love is [Bm] just a lie of the soul
[D] A constant battle [Bm] for the ultimate state of [F#m] control
After you've heard [A] lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question [D] of why
Some love is [Bm] just a lie of the heart
[D] The core remains the [Bm] one began with a passion [F#m] of start
But that can't happen [A] to us
Cause it's always been a matter [D] of trust
It's [Bm]
a matter [D] of trust
[Bm]
[D] [Bm] Oh it's been [D] a matter of trust
[Bm]
[D] [Bm] It's a matter [D] of trust
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
[D]
