Capo 3rd Fret

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


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


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


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