E                            B/D#
Let's change the subject to someone else
          D                            A/C#
You know lately I've been subject to change
C                         E
Normally I reel in the strange
    A         Am
Hangover, I'm older

You're one to talk, the heart is a clock
Just like a bomb it keeps on ticking away
Counting down to detonate
You will need an army

           E
Disarming me

Am
It doesn't matter much to me
                              E
If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh
Am
It doesn't matter much to me
                              E
If it doesn't matter much to you

Chorus:
D                       A/C#
 It's just a matter of time before, before
C                       E
 It's just a matter of time before, before
D                       A/C#
 And though I hate to rewind before, before
C                       E
 It's just a matter of time

My past is getting us nowhere fast
I was never one for taking things slow
Nowhere seems like somewhere to go
Come over, and over

Doing my time for line after line
When will I learn to sing these crimes to myself?
Prisoners to share a cell with
I'm holding, still holding

Holding you in

It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you,  ooh
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you

Chorus

 Am                  E
Where the hell were you? ooh
Where the hell were you? ooh
Where the hell were you?

Chorus

D
 What does it matter now?
A/C#
 What does it matter now?
D
 What does it matter now?
A/C#
 What does it matter now?
C
 It's just a matter of
 E
Time
