VERSE:

S^Dome love is just a l^Aie of the h^Bmeart ^DThe cold remains of what be^Agan with a p^Bmassionate s^Atart

And they may not want it to end

But it will, it's just a q^A7uestion of wh^Den

VERSE:

^DI've lived long eno^Augh to have le^Bmarned ^DThe closer you get to the f^Aire the ^Bmmore you get b^Aurned

But that won't happen to us

Because it's always been a m^A7atter of t^Drust

INSTRUMENTAL: - PLAY INTRO - VERSE:

^DI know you're an e^Amotional g^Bmirl ^DIt took a lot for you to n^Aot lose your f^Bmaith in this w^Aorld

I can't offer you proof

But you're gonna face a m^A7oment of t^Druth

VERSE:

^DIt's hard when you're a^Always afr^Bmaid ^DYou just recover when a^Another be^Bmlief is betra^Ayed

So break my heart if you must

It's a m^A7atter of trust

BREAK:

You c^Eman't go the distance With ^F#mtoo much resistance I k^Gnow you have do^F#mubts sl. A G G / A D But for God's sake don't shut me out

VERSE:

^DThis time you've got ^Anothing to ^Bmlose ^DYou can take it, you can l^Aeave it wha^Bmtever you ch^Aoose

I won't hold back anything

And I'll walk away a f^A7ool or a k^Ding

VERSE:

^DSome love is just a l^Aie of the m^Bmind ^DIt's make believe until it's o^Anly a m^Bmatter of t^Aime

And some might have learned to adjust

But then it never was a m^A7atter of t^Drust

INSTRUMENTAL: PLAY IMPROVISED INTRO 3x's THEN A BARRE CHORD A or POWER CHORD A BREAK:

I'm s^Emure you're aware love We've b^F#moth had our share of bel^Gieving too ^F#mlong sl. A G G / A D When the whole situation was wrong

VERSE:

^DSome love is just a l^Aie of the s^Bmoul ^DA constant battle for the u^Altimate s^Bmtate of co^Antrol

After you've heard lie upon lie

There can hardly be a q^A7uestion of w^Dhy

VERSE:

^DSome love is just a l^Aie of the h^Bmeart ^DThe cold remains of what ^Abegan with a ^Bmpassionate s^Atart

But that can't happen to us

'Cause it's always been a m^A7atter of t^Drust

OUTRO: Play INTRO over and over (about 5 times) and sing these words .... It's a matter of trust It's always been a matter of trust It's a matter of trust
