Verse 1
D Bm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D Bm F#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
D Bm
I've lived long enough to have learned
D Bm F#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
D Bm
I know you're an emotional girl
D Bm F#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
D Bm
It's hard when you're always afraid
D Bm F#m
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
A7
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

You can't go the distance

With too much resistance

I know you have doubts
F#m G G G G-A A
But for God's sake don't shut me out
Verse 5
D Bm
This time you've got nothing to lose
D Bm F#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
D Bm
Some love is just a lie of the mind
D Bm F#m
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time

And some might have learned to adjust
D
But then it never was a matter of trust

Rhythm: D Bm 4x

I'm sure you're aware love
F#m Em A
We've both had our share of believing too long
F#m G G G G-A A
When the whole situation was wrong
Verse 7

Some love is just a lie of the soul
D Bm F#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
D Bm
Some love is just a lie of the heart
D Bm F#m
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

But that can't happen to us
D
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
