Key: DD | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Intro: D   A Bm 
 
 
D                   A          Bm     A   D 
Some love is just a lie of the heart 
D                   A          Bm                A 
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start 
A 
And they may not want it to end 
A                        A7          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 
Because 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 
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  
 
 
    Em            
You can't go the distance 
    F#m          
With too much resistance 
    G           F#m 
I know you have doubts 
        Bm                       G     A   D 
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 
Because it's always been a matter of trust
