A Matter Of Trust Chords

A Matter Of Trust - Billy Joel

Intro: D   A Bm


D                   A          Bm     A   D
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D                   A          Bm                A
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
A
And they may not want it to end
A                        A7          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
Because 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
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 


    Em           
You can't go the distance
    F#m         
With too much resistance
    G           F#m
I know you have doubts
        Bm                       G     A   D
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
Because it's always been a matter of trust
