Capo 1st fret


Intro:
E - B - C#m - A - E - A - Bsus - B


Verse 1:
E                  B        C#m
If I could I would tell you why
A                 E              A            Bsus B
 The first time I saw her I could touch the sky
  E                        B         C#m
I turned to stone... and I could not speak
A             E         A         Bsus B
 She had the ability to make me weak


Chorus:
C#m               A
 Always wishing... always hoping
     B
That she'll get the message from the
Ab           C#m
Bottom of my heart
                 A
Let's together... share forever
     B                E   B
It's just a matter of time
E  B
Oh


E - B - C#m - A - E - A - Bsus - B


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
I had to wait and just let her breathe
That's never been easy for a man to see
She moved slow and she took her time
She kept me guessing what was on her mind


Chorus:
C#m               A
 Always wishing... always hoping
     B
That she'll get the message from the
Ab           C#m
Bottom of my heart
                 A
Let's together... share forever
     B                E   B
It's just a matter of time
E  A           E   B  F#m  C#
     Matter of time
C#m               A
 Always wishing... always hoping
     B
That she'll get the message from the
Ab           C#m
Bottom of my heart
                 A
Let's together... share forever
     B                E B C#m
It's just a matter of time
A                   B     Ab
 It's just a matter time, oh
C#m              A
 Let's forever... be together
     B                E   B E  B
It's just a matter of time, oh
                      E   B
It's just a matter of time
