[Verse 1]
---------------------
D                    Bm
 Some love is just a lie of the heart
D                           Bm
 The cold remains of what began
                       F#m
With a passionate start
                               A
And they may not want it to end
                                         D
But it will, it's just a question of when
                 Bm
I've lived long enough to have learned
D                          Bm
 The closer you get to the fire
                       F#m
The more you get burned
                           A
But that won't happen to us
Cause it's always been
A matter of trust

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D                      Bm
 Now I know you're an emotional girl
D                         Bm
 It took a lot for you to not
                             F#m
Lose your faith in this world
                           A
But I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face
                 D
A moment of truth
                      Bm
It's hard when you're always afraid
D
 You just recover
       Bm                      F#m
When another belief is betrayed
                             A
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    G
You can't go the distance
     F#m
With too much resistance
  Em7           A
I know you have doubts
        D                           G A
But for God's sake don't shut me out

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D                     Bm             D
 This time you've got nothing to lose
                         Bm
You can take it, you can leave it
                   F#m
Whatever you choose
                          A
I won't hold back anything
                                   D
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
                    Bm
Some love is just a lie of the mind
D                             Bm                   F#m
 It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
                                     A
And some might have learned to adjust
                                       D
But then it never was a matter of trust

[Solo]
---------------------
Bm | D | Bm | F#m 
A

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    G
I'm sure you're aware love
      F#m
We've both had our share of
  Em7         A
Believing too long
         D                        G A
When the whole situation was wrong

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D                    Bm
 Some love is just a lie of the soul
D
 A constant battle
        Bm                       F#m
For the ultimate state of control
                               A
After you've heard lie upon lie
                                     D
There can hardly be a question of why
                    Bm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D                           Bm
 The cold remains of what began
                       F#m
With a passionate start
                           A
But that can't happen to us
Cause it's always been
                 D
A matter of trust

[Outro]
---------------------
Bm                      D
  It's a matter of trust
Bm D     Bm                           D Bm
    It's always been a matter of trust

[Fade Out]
---------------------
D Bm                      D
    It's a matter of trust
Bm D           Bm
    Cause it's always been
                 D Bm
A matter of trust
