Billy Joel - A Matter of Trust: chords

 D                   Bm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D                         Bm
The cold remains of what began with a
           F#m
passionate start
                            A7
And they may not want it to end
                                      D
But it will, it's just a question of when

I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you
get burned
But that won't happen to us
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust

I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your
faith in this world
But I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth

It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

 G
You can't go the distance
     F#m
With too much resistance
   Em            A
I know you have doubts
         D                        G A F#m G
But for God's sake don't shut me out

This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it whatever
you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king

Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust

I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong

Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why

Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with
a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust

It's a matter of trust
It's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
