A Matter of Trust - Billy Joel (Lyrics and Chords)

ARTIST: Billy Joel
TITLE: A Matter of Trust
Lyrics and Chords


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

/ D DA Bm BmA / D DA Bm - F#m - / - - A - / A7 - / :

Now, I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
And I can't offer you proof
But you're going to 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

   You can't go the distance
   With too much resistance
   I know you have doubts
   But for God's sake don't shut me out

   / Em - - - / F#m - - - / G - A - / F#m - G GA / 

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 its 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

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