A Matter Of Time

Em
You're looking for a way out
                 Bm     A    Em
I can feel it
Em
Come on, show me where it hurts
                       Bm     A    
Maybe I can heal it
Em


Em
Your feelings are your own
Now you keep 'em under lock and key
  Bm     A    Em

Em
You got me drivin' through the 
streets
                                Bm 
For an answer to the mystery
    A    Em


    G             D               
The world's still weak on 
   A
Charleston Avenue
   G          D                A
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel 
I see you
  G                 D
Laughing with your girlfriends
       A                      
Not a care in the world, not a 
  D     A       Em
burden on your mind

Em
It was a matter of time

Em
There's a panic in this house
                            Bm     
and it's bound to surface
A    Em

Em
Just walkin' through the front door
                Bm      A    Em
makes me nervous

Em
It's creepin' up the floorboards,
                                 Bm
got me wondering where I stand
      A    Em

Em
I cannot put out the fire,
I got a book of matches in my hand
Bm      A    Em



G             D                   
When we first met, headstrong and 
A
filled with doubt
G                         D      
Made just enough hustling tables 
               A
that summer to take you out
      G                  D        
I was fallin' back on forever when
     A                   D
 you told me about your heart
            A       Em
You laid it on the line

G                  D
Laughing with your girlfriends
       A                      
Not a care in the world, not a 
 D      A   G
burden on your mind

(You laid it on the line)

G              A            
It was just a matter, It was a 
   D    A    G
matter of time

   G                 A
We found ourselves a place
       D           G
We belong in it forever
           D              A
Ain't that what it's all about?
         G                A
Make the promise and keep it
     D               G
Come hell or high water
      D   A      G
We'd figure it out

           G                 A
It was the night, it was the moon
           D                  G
It was the green grass in the garden
    G               A
The victory and the sin

G                    A
I know you're weary, look at me
D               G
Flailin' in the corner
           G
Here's the towel
A               G
Go on, throw it in

G        D         G
It was a matter of time
G                       D        
Can't you see that it's tearing 
       A
me up inside?
G                          A
Look what's laying at our feet
           G                   A
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
    D                      A
And burned out
G             A       G
And it's here on our street
