(D)One, two, one, two, three, four.
Some love is just a (Bm7)lie of the heart,
the cold re mains of what be (Bm7)gan with a pas sion ate start;
and they may not want it to end,
but it will, it’s just a ques tion of when.
I’ve lived long e (Bm7)nough to have learned
the clos er you get to the (Bm7)fire er the more you get burned;
but that won’t hap pen to us
be cause it’s al ways been a mat ter of trust.
I know you’re an e (Bm7)mo tion al girl;
it took a lot for you to (Bm7)not lose your faith in this world.
and they I can’t of fer you proof,
but you’re gon na face a mo ment of truth.
It’s hard when you’re (Bm7)al ways a fraid.
You just re cov er when an (Bm7)oth er be lief is be trayed.
So, break my heart if you must;
be cause it’s al ways been a mat ter of trust.
it’s a mat ter of trust.
You (G)can’t go the dis tance with (D)too much re sist ance.
I (Em7)know you have (A)doubts,
but, for (Gmaj7)God’s sake, u don’t shut me out.
This time, is you’ve got (Bm7)noth ing to lose;
a you can take it, you can (Bm7)leave it, what ev er you choose.
Af I won’t hold back an y thing,
and I’ll walk a way a fool or a king.
Some love is just a (Bm7)lie of the mind;
it’s make be lieve un til it’s (Bm7)on ly a mat ter of time.
And some might have learned to ad just,
but then it nev er was a mat ter of trust.
I’m al ways been a mat ter of trust.
