[Intro]

"One, two, a one, two, three, four"

Rhythm Guitar:

D Bm (x2)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

D                                     Bm
I've lived long enough to have learned
D                                      Bm                             F#m
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
                                       A7
But that won't happen to us
                                                          D
Because it's always been a matter of trust

[Instrumental Break]
(same as intro)

[Verse 3]

D                          Bm
I know you're an emotional girl
D                                 Bm                                   F#m
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
                             A7
I can't offer you proof
                                                        D
But you're gonna face a moment of truth

[Verse 4]

D                                  Bm
It's hard when you're always afraid
D                                    Bm                        F#m
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
                                          A7
So break my heart if you must

It's a matter of trust

[Bridge 1]

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

[Verse 5]

D                                    Bm
This time you've got nothing to lose
D                                    Bm                              F#m
You can take it, you can leave it whatever you choose
                                  A7
I won't hold back anything
                                              D
And I'll walk away a fool or a king

[Verse 6]

D                            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
                                                      A7
And some might have learned to adjust
                                                    D
But then it never was a matter of trust

[Instrumental Break]
(variation of intro lead, but 4x instead of 2x)

Rhythm:

D Bm (x4)

[Bridge 2]

G
I'm sure you're aware love
          F#m                             Em               A
We've both had our share of believing too long

                 F#m           G G G G-A
When the whole situation was wrong

[Verse 7]

D                            Bm
Some love is just a lie of the soul
D                                       Bm                   F#m
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
                                            A7
After you've heard lie upon lie
                                                       D
There can hardly be a question of why

[Verse 8]

D                           Bm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D                                        Bm                               F#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
                                      A7
But that can't happen to us
                                                         D
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
