Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus one

Put your life on the line

Give your hand and pledge your time

To the love whose lips enflame you

Like some ancient and golden wine

And to all, it's a start

In fulfilling greatest needs in part

For in whatever we dream of what we someday want to be

It's a matter of heart

We like to think we know what you are doing

We always like to be in control

The rational mind rules the passionate heart

Is what the ancient sages told

But that can sound a little bit hollow

When you are sitting by the fire alone

And the rarest of wine, tastes of ashes and brine

When you've no one there to keep it warm

Chorus two

Put your life on the line

Give your hand and pledge your time

To the love whose lips enflame you

Like some ancient and golden wine

And to all, it's a start

In fulfilling greatest needs in part

For in whatever we dream of what we someday want to be

It's a matter of heart

The ways in which our pride will stall us

When we know we should be losing control

Puts us in fear of falling

And we let it go

Our careful words are self deceiving

Though we'd like to call them pretense and art

And every old bind, is held in the mind

When it's really just a matter of heart

ENDING: REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
