Billy Joel – A Matter Of Trust (Guitar)

D                    A          Bm   A D
 Some love is just a lie of the heart

                           A          Bm         F#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

                            A
And they may not want it to end

                         A7          D
But it will, it's just a question of when

D                 A             Bm     A D
 I've lived long enough to have learned

                          A        Bm           F#m
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned

                         A
But that won't happen to us

                           A7        D
Because it's always been a matter of trust 

D                  A        Bm   A D
 I know you're an emotional girl

                         A             Bm            F#m
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world

                  A
I can't offer you proof

                        A7        D
But you're gonna face a moment of truth

D                      A       Bm   A D
 It's hard when you're always afraid

                       A        Bm        F#m
You just recover when another belief is betrayed

                         A
So break my heart if you must

       A7        A
It's a matter of trust 

    Em           
You can't go the distance

     F#m         
With too much resistance

  G             A
I know you have doubts

        F#m        A             G   A D
But for God's sake don't shut me out 

D                     A          Bm  A D
 This time you've got nothing to lose

                         A             Bm       F#m
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose

                  A
I won't hold back anything

                     A7        D
And I'll walk away a fool or a king

D                    A          Bm   A D
 Some love is just a lie of the mind

                             A      Bm        F#m
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time

                                 A
And some might have learned to adjust

                        A7        D
But then it never was a matter of trust 

    Em
I'm sure you're aware love

      F#m
We've both had our share of 

  G           A
Believing too long

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

D                    A          Bm  A D
 Some love is just a lie of the soul

                          A        Bm          F#m
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control

                            A
After you've heard lie upon lie

                      A7          D
There can hardly be a question of why

D                    A          Bm   A D
 Some love is just a lie of the heart

                           A          Bm         F#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

                         A
But that can't happen to us

                           A7        D
Because it's always been a matter of trust 

            D
A matter of trust

                             D
It's always been a matter of trust

                 D
It's a matter of trust. . . .
