C     Em              Am        G
I try hard to put you out of my mind.
F           G
Every night alone I'm thinking about you.
F            Em
How can I avoid this pain without you?
C       Em             Am       G
I won't cry, I wont be sorry no more.
F                   G
I know that this is something I'll get over.
F             G
Maybe I could learn to love another.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                    G     F           C
It's just a matter of time, a matter of time.

[Verse 2]
C                   Am
Just because I lock myself in my room.
F                    Em7
It doesn't mean that I'm afraid to talk to,
F            G7
Those people I know that might have seen you.
C              Cmaj7    Am        G
You'll return, I keep reminding myself.
F                          G
I won't look back, won't regret a single moment.
F                      G
I'm going to mend this heart inside you've broken.

[Chorus]
F                     G       F         C
It's just a matter of time, a matter of time.
F                     G       F         C
It's just a matter of time, a matter of time

[Bridge]
Am G F C
F G G C

[Verse 3]
C                         F
Show me the way, they say safety in numbers.
C                        G
I lift up my eyes to the sky.
       C               F
And imagine a crowd of hearts that surround me,
C               G          C
And give me the courage to die.
C                     F
Were you to weep and lie soft at my feet,
           C                    G
Then you'd wash all my troubles away.
    C                   F
And imagine the host of angels around me,
     C           G          C
That give me the courage to die.
