[Intro]
F# Bsus2
[Verse 1]
F# Sifting through the broken glass, The echoes of my ancient past Bsus2 Keep flooding into every pore, Like scattered seeds of sycamore F# D#m Bsus2 Suddenly I started wondering how I got here
Was it a matter of time?
F# Bsus2 F# D#m Bsus2
[Verse 2]
F# Catholic school my private hell, I stuttered 'til the age of twelve Bsus2 Discovered sex at seventeen, And soon thereafter, self-esteem F# The days did not matter D#m Bsus2 And years were a lifetime away
[Verse 3]
F# Drowning in a heavy stock, Of teenage girls and indie rock Bsus2 I flunked out of each college course, And set my sails for no remorse F# The nights were for nowhere D#m Bsus2 And that's where I wanted to be
[Chorus]
Bsus2 Someone said F# Bsus2 "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here? F# Bsus2 It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
[Verse 4]
F# Branded, marked, and paper thin, This angry saint went marching in Bsus2 To war with scores of ninety proof, Found nothing but the ugly truth F# A decade of wastage D#m Bsus2 An instant and everything's changed
[Verse 5]
F# Woke up feeling thirty-five, Though grateful that I'm still alive Bsus2 Another chance at normalcy, To chase the dream, but now it seems F# D#m Bsus2 That days run away like wild horses over the hills
[Chorus]
Bsus2 Someone said F# Bsus2 "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time) F# Bsus2 It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
[Bridge]
G#m Bm F# Take it in and hold on while you can F# All the destruction will one day end G#m Bm F# And you'll finally know exactly who you are
[Chorus]
N.C. Bsus2 It's just a matter of timing F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time) F# Bsus2 It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It’s just a matter of time) F# Bsus2 It’s not a matter of time, it’s just a matter of timing F# D#m Bsus2 Do you ever wonder how you got to here? G#m Bm Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
