Billy Joel - A Matter of Trust
Originally in D, I play in A capo 1, lots of 3 and 4 in the melody
A cappella, vox on the 1 on “one”
One, two, a one, two, three, four
AF#mx2
ASome love is just a lF#mie of the heart
AThe cold remains of what begF#man with a passionate sC#mtart
And they may not want it to eEnd
But it will, it’s just a question of whAen
AI’ve lived long enougF#mh to have learned
AThe closer you get to the fF#mire the more you get buC#mrned
But that won’t happen to Eus
‘Cause it’s always been a matter of tArust
AF#mx2
ANow I know you’re an eF#mmotional girl
AIt took a lot for you to F#mnot lose your faith in this woC#mrld
And I can’t offer you pEroof
But you’re gonna face a moment of tAruth
AIt’s hard when you’re alF#mways afraid
AYou just recover when aF#mnother belief is betrC#mayed
So break my heart if you Emust
It’s a matter of trust
Vox on the 6 of the chord on “can’t”
You cDan’t go the distance
Vox on the same note (now the 7 of the chord) on “too”
With C#mtoo much resistance
Vox down to the 7 of the chord on “know”
I kBm7now you have douEbts
Vox down to the 7 of the chord on “god’s”
But for Amaj7god’s sake don’t shut me Dout E
AThis time you’ve got noF#mthing to lose
AYou can take it, you can lF#meave it whatever you cC#mhoose
I won’t hold back anytEhing
And I’ll walk away a fool or a kAing
ASome love is just a lF#mie of the mind
AIt’s make believe until it’s oF#mnly a matter of tC#mime
And some might have learned to aEdjust
But then it never was a matter of trAust

I’m sDure you’re aware love
We’ve bC#moth had our share of beliBm7eving too loEng
When the Amaj7whole situation was Dwrong E
ASome love is just a lF#mie of the soul
AA constant battle for the ulF#mtimate state of cC#montrol
After you’ve heard lie upon Elie
There can hardly be a question of wAhy
ASome love is just a F#mlie of the heart
AThe cold remains of what begF#man with a passionate stC#mart
