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 Em Maybe I can heal it Em Your feelings are your own Bm A Em Now you keep 'em under lock and key Em You got me drivin' through the streets Bm A Em For an answer to the mystery G D A The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue G D A Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you G D Laughing with your girlfriends A D A Em Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind Em It was a matter of time Em There's a panic in this house Bm A Em and it's bound to surface Em Just walkin' through the front door Bm A Em makes me nervous Em It's creepin' up the floorboards, Bm A Em got me wondering where I stand Em I cannot put out the fire, Bm A Em I got a book of matches in my hand G D A When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt G D A Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out G D A D I was fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart A Em You laid it on the line G D Laughing with your girlfriends A D A G Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind (You laid it on the line) G A D A G It was just a matter, It was a 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 A Can't you see that it's tearing 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
