[Verse 1]
A          F#m              C#       D
 You don't need to bring me candy or flowers
A          G             D           E
 You don't need a clumsy sonnet from me
A         F#m               C#            D
 When the night falls on us tone-deaf and ringing
A    G                  D         E
 You know you're always my middle C

[Chorus]
A     E         A     E
In a matter of, in a matter of
A      E         D  E
It's a matter of time
A     E         A     E
In a matter of, in a matter of
A      E         D  E
It's a matter of time

 How's the stroke of someone's pen gonna change us?
A    G                D         E
 You have my love for free, ooOOooh
A         F#m             C#        D
 You have everything that I have to offer
A      G                D     E
 We'll know when we are readyyy

[Chorus]

 Who remembers any men from before me?
A      G             D        E
 We've always been alone, ooOOooh
A     F#m              C#       D
 In a world so full of murky intentions
A      G                D         E
 We'll make ourselves a home, aaAAaah
