A Matter Of Trust Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
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
Allentown Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
C D G 3x

Well we're living here in Allentown

Filling out forms - Standing in line

Down Easters Alexa Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
Intro: |Am G|Am |Am G|Am |
C G Am
Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa
C G F
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound.
F C Dm
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard.
C G F C F
But tonight I am Nantucket bound.
G C/E F
We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday,
G Am G/B F
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay.
G C/E F
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home,
G Am G/B
Too proud to leave, I worked my fingers to the bone
So I could own my Downeaster Alexa,
And I go where the ocean is deep.
There are giants out there in the canyons.
And a good captain can't fall asleep.
I got bills to pay and children who need clothes.
I know there's fish out there but where, God only knows.
They say these waters aren't what they used to be.
But I've got people back on land who count on me.
So when you see my Downeaster Alexa,
And if you work with the rod and the reel,
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis,
And I still have my hands on the wheel.
Instrumental Bridge: |Am G|Am |Am G|Am |
|Em | | | |
|Am | | | |
Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa
More and more miles from shore ev'ry year,
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers.
And there's no luck in sword fishing here.
I was a bayman like my father was before.
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore.
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea.
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
C G Am
Ya, ya, ya yo

Ya, ya, ya yo

Ya, ya, ya yo

(verse)
D G
Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain

Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again

Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
A C G
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years
(chorus)

That's why it took so long to write
C D
There will be other words some other day
C D
But that's the story of my life
(verse)
D G
There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall
D G
They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall
A C G
They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade
A C G
There's Nothing left for a dreamer now, only one final serenade
(chorus)
G C D
And these are the last words I have to say

Before another age goes by

With all those other songs I'll have to play

Goodnight Saigon Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
F Dm Bb G
Dm Dm7 C
We met as soul mates on Parris Island,
Dm Dm7 C
we left as inmates from an asylum.
Em Am Em Am
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
Dm Dm/C G C G
and we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives.
Dm Dm7 C
We came in spastic like tameless horses,
Dm Dm7 C
we left in plastic as numbered corpses.
Em Am Em Am
And we learned fast to travel light,
Dm C Bb G Dm G
our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight.
Dm Dm7 C
We had no home front, we had no soft soap.
Dm Dm7 C
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope.
Em Am Em Am
We dug in deep and shot on sight
Dm F G C G
and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.
Dm Dm7 C
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
Dm Dm7 C
we passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes.
Em Am Em Am
And it was dark, so dark at night
Dm Dm/C
and we held on to each other, like brother to brother,
Bb F6/A G
we promised our mothers we'd write.
F Bb C C7
And we would all go down together,
F Bb C C7
we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb G F Dm C
yes, we would all go down together.
Dm Dm7 C
Remember Charlie, remember Baker,
Dm Dm7 C
they left their childhood on every acre.
Em Am Em Am
And who was wrong? And who was right?
Dm C Bb G
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight.
Am Em C Dm E Dm Dm7 E
We held the day in the palm of our hand.
Am Em C Dm E Dm C+
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last
E C E Dm Dm7 C
as long as six weeks on Parris Island.
Dm Dm7 C
We held the coastline, they held the highlands,
Em Am Em Am
and they were sharp, as sharp as knives,
Dm Dm/C
they heard the hum of motors, they counted the rotors
Bb F6/A G
and waited for us to arrive.
F Bb C C7
And we would all go down together,
F Bb C C7
we said we'd all go down together,
F Bb G F Dm Bb
yes, we would all go down together.

Honesty Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
Bb-Bbm-Gbmaj7-F7
Bb Eb F Dm7
If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find
Eb Gm Am Cm7-F-F7
You can have the love you need to live
Bb C F D
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
Eb A D
It always seems to be so hard to give
[chorus]
Ebmaj7 F7 D Gm7 F
Honest- y is such a lonely word
Eb F Bb D
Everyone is so untrue
Ebmaj7 F7 D Gm7
Honest- y is hardly ever heard
Eb F Bb F9sus
But mostly what I need from you
[end chorus]
Bb Eb F Dm7
I can always find someone to say they sympathize
Eb Gm Am Cm7-F-F7
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
Bb C F D
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
Eb A D
All I want is someone to believe
[repeat chorus]
Gm D
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
F7 C
I can have security until the bitter end
Eb F F7 Eb Bb
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
C7 F D-Eb-F9sus
I know, I know
Bb Eb F Dm
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
Eb Bb Am Cm7-F-F7
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
Bb C F A Dm
When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
Eb A7 D7
Cause you're the one that I depend upon

New York State Of Mind Chords and Lyrics
by: Billy Joel
[C] Some folks like to [E7#9]get away
Take a [Am7]holiday from the [Gm7]neighbourhood [C7]
[F] Hop a flight to Mi[A7]ami Beach Or to [Dm7]Hollywood. [Bb9]
[C] But I'm [E7#9] takin' a [Am7]Greyhound [Cmaj7]
On the [F]Hudson [C]River line[D7]
[Fmaj7]I'm in a [G9sus]New York state of [Am7]mind [D7] [Am] [G] [G9sus]
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of [Am7]mind [G] [E7#9]
[Am7] It was so [D7]easy livin' [Gmaj7] day by day
[Gm7] Out of touch [C9] with the rhythm and [Fmaj7]blues
[Bm7] And now I [E7]need a little [Amaj7] give and take
The [Am7]New York [D7]Times
The [Gmaj7]Daily News [Dm7] [G7sus] [G7]
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me, 'cause I let it slide
don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind [C]
[E7#9] [Am7] [Bb] [Eb6] [Ab] [Dm7] [Db9] [Cmaj9]
