Capo 3rd Fret


G5
There was a time
                     C5
You had no need for rhythm or rhyme
                        G5
And the world seemed so wild and so free
                      C5
just wrapped yourself up in a dream
               E5 
all you had to do was believe
                C5
and nothing was out of your reach
               E5             
so sure how it all falls in line
      C5             G5            
its just a matter of time   
its just a matter of time


G5
Then you wake up one day
                         C5
all your dreams somehow faded away
                  G5
the road that you followed it turned
                         C5
You can't find where the fire once burned
                    E5
can't look yourself straight in the eyes
                        C5
in your heart of hearts you've compromised.
                 E5
Baby one day we'll all cross that line
C5                    G5
its just a matter of time
its just a matter of time


G5
All alone in the still of the night
                C5
you come face to face with your pride
                 G5
and how much you wanted it all
               C5
Cant believe now you're taking the fall


G5
Then you reach out one day
                    C5
to the light of a new dawning day
                      G5
and you take just one small grain of sand
               C5
right into the palm of your hand
              E5
and maybe you find in the end
               C5
you're able to dream once again
              E5
and baby you fall back in line
C5                    G5
Its just a matter of time  (5x)
