Cmaj7/A
Look me in the eyes
Tell me you're not lying to me

See through your disguise
You can't keep on hiding from me

Time to make it right

So why are you still saying I'm wrong

It's only a matter of

Time to sit its trade
Time to tell the world that you've been

Lying on my name
Doing what you want and think you're

Gonna get away

[Chorus]
          Em              Cmaj7/A
But It's only a matter of time
                            D6
An eye for an eye I'll go blind
                         G
When did you stop being kind
      G7/F                      C
You twisted your words like a knife
     Em                        Cmaj7/A
I'm sure that you're hurting inside
                               D6
Why would you make your pain mine
                                G
You're making me pay for your crimes

Darling I'll be fine
      Em
It's only a matter of

[Verse]
Cmaj7/A
It ain't over yet
You can't tear me down and then
     D6
Just act like I'll forget
When karma comes around then you'll be
G
Drowning in regret
          G7/F                 C
But it's not about revenge tonight

How to play Only A Matter Of Time: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for ‘Only A Matter Of Time by Joshua Bassett’ on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Only A Matter Of Time by Joshua Bassett is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 9 chords in all: Cmaj7/A, D6, G, G7/F, C, Em, Cmaj7, Fadd2 and Fm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cmaj7/A – D6 – G – G7/F (IVmaj7 – V6 – I – I7 in G major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Fadd2 and Fm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
