A Matter Of Trust chords
Billy Joel  *

One, two, one two three four

D Bm  2x

D                   A          Bm   A D
Some love is just a lie of the heart
                           A          Bm         A
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

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           A
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned

But that won't happen to us
                           A7        D
Because it's always been a matter of trust 

D Bm  2x

D                 A        Bm   A D
I know you're an emotional girl
                         A             Bm            A
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world

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        A
You just recover when another belief is betrayed

So break my heart if you must
       A7        D
It's a matter of trust 

    Em           
You can't go the distance
     F#m         
With too much resistance
  G             F#m
I know you have doubts
        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       A
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose

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        A
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time

And some might have learned to adjust
                        A7        D
But then it never was a matter of trust 

D Bm  2x  break

    Em
I'm sure you're aware love
      F#m
We've both had our share of 
  G           F#m
Believing too long
         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          A
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control

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         A
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

But that can't happen to us
                           A7        D
Because it's always been a matter of trust 

D Bm  
            D
A matter of trust

D Bm  2x

                             D
It’s always been a matter of trust

D Bm  2x
                 D
It’s a matter of trust. . . .
