Matter of Trust

by Billy Joel

COne, two, one two three four
C--Am--C--Am
v.1
CSome love is just a Amlie of the heart
CThe core remains of what beAmgan with a passionate Emstart
EmAnd they may not want it to Gend
GBut it will it's just a question of Cwhen

CI've lived long eAmnough to have learned
CThe closer you get to the Amfire the more you'll get Emburned
EmBut that won't happen to Gus
GCause it's always been a matter of Ctrust Am--C--Am

v.2
Now I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
But I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth

It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover and never believe it's betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

Refrain I:
You Fcan't go the distance with Emtoo much resistance
I Dmknow you have Gdoubts, but for EmGod's sake don't shut me Fout G--C

v.3
This time you 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
You fake believin' til it's only a matter of time
An some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust

Instr. Brk.

Refrain II:
I'm sure you're aware now, we both had our share of
Believing too long, but the whole situation was wrong

v.4
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 only be a question of why

Some love is just a lie of the heart
The core remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Cause it's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
Always been a matter of trust
