1.    Some love is just a lie of the heart,

C                                              Am                               Em

    the cold remains of what began with a passionate start.

                                                  G                                                        C

    and they may not want it to end, but it will, it's just a question of when.

                               Am

    I've lived long enough to have learned,

C                                         Am                             Em

    the closer you get to the fire the more you get burned,

                                            G                                                            C

    but that won't happen to us, ‘cause it's always been a matter of trust.

2.    I know you're an emotional girl,

C                                    Am                                   Em

    it took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world,

                                        G                                                              C

    and I can't offer you proof, but you're gonna face a moment of truth.

                                      Am

    It's hard when you're always afraid,

C                                        Am                       Em

    you just recover when another belief is betrayed,

                                              G

    so break my heart if you must, it's a matter of trust.

 

             F                                      Em

+  You can't go the distance with too much resistance,

         F                       G                  Em                                    F

    I know you have doubts but for God's sake don't shut me out.

 

    G - C                                  Am

3.          This time you've got nothing to lose,

C                                         Am                                 Em

    you can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose,

                                        G                                                   C

    I won't hold back anything, and I'll walk away a fool or a king.

                                  Am

    Some love is just a lie of the mind,

C                                          Am                    Em

    it's make believe until it's only a matter of time.

                                                             G

    and some might have learned to adjust,

                                                          C

    but then it never was a matter of trust.

           F

+  I'm sure you're aware, love,

              Em                                   F               G

    we've both had our share of believing too long,

                       Em                           F

    when the whole situation was wrong.

 

    G - C                                Am

4.           Some love is just a lie of the soul,

C                                        Am                          Em

    a constant battle for the ultimate state of control.

                                                G                                                         C

    after you've heard lie upon lie, there can hardly be a question of why.

                                   Am

    Some love is just a lie of the heart

C                                              Am                              Em

    the cold remains of what began with a passionate start,

                                           G                                                            C

    but that can't happen to us, 'cause it's always been a matter of trust.

 

C - Am                          C       - Am

            It's a matter of trust !

C       Am                                    C       - Am

    It's always been a matter of trust !

C - Am                            C        - Am

             It's a matter of trust !                  .....
