D Bm Some love is just a lie of the heart D Bm The cold remains of what began with a F#m passionate start A7 And they may not want it to end D But it will, it's just a question of when I've lived long enough to have learned The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned But that won't happen to us 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust I know you're an emotional girl It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world But I can't offer you proof But you're gonna face a moment of truth It's hard when you're always afraid You just recover when another belief is betrayed So break my heart if you must It's a matter of trust G You can't go the distance F#m With too much resistance Em A I know you have doubts D G A F#m G But for God's sake don't shut me out This time you've got nothing to lose You can take it, you can leave it whatever you choose I won't hold back anything And I'll walk away a fool or a king Some love is just a lie of the mind It's make believe until it's only a matter of time And some might have learned to adjust But then it never was a matter of trust I'm sure you're aware love We've both had our share of Believing too long When the whole situation was wrong Some love is just a lie of the soul A constant battle for the ultimate state of control After you've heard lie upon lie There can hardly be a question of why Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start But that can't happen to us 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust It's a matter of trust It's always been a matter of trust It's a matter of trust 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A7  Bm  D  Em  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
