Verse 1
DBm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
DBmF#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
A7
And they may not want it to end
D
But it will, it's just a question of when
Verse 2
DBm
I've lived long enough to have learned
DBmF#m
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
A7
But that won't happen to us
D
Because it's always been a matter of trust
---Instrumental Break--- same as intro
Verse 3
DBm
I know you're an emotional girl
DBmF#m
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
A7
I can't offer you proof
D
But you're gonna face a moment of truth
Verse 4
DBm
It's hard when you're always afraid
DBmF#m
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
A7
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust
Bridge 1
Em
You can't go the distance
F#m
With too much resistance
EmA
I know you have doubts
F#mGA-A
But for God's sake don't shut me out
Verse 5
DBm
This time you've got nothing to lose
DBmF#m
You can take it, you can leave it whatever you choose
A7
I won't hold back anything
D
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Verse 6
DBm
Some love is just a lie of the mind
DBmF#m
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
A7
And some might have learned to adjust
D
But then it never was a matter of trust
----Instrumental break---- variation of intro lead, but 4x instead of 2x
Rhythm: D Bm 4x
Bridge 2
Em
I'm sure you're aware love
F#mEmA
We've both had our share of believing too long
F#mGA-A
When the whole situation was wrong
Verse 7
DBm
Some love is just a lie of the soul
DBmF#m
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
A7
After you've heard lie upon lie
D
There can hardly be a question of why
Verse 8
DBm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
DBmF#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
A7
But that can't happen to us
D
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
