Chords

[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

        F#         D#m            Bsus2

F#                                                Bsus2
It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

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
