Shawn Colvin - A Matter Of Minutes

I've been thinking
About you and me
Maybe I was just
Seeing what I wanted to see

Well you can call me crazy
But you know this time I swore
That I wouldn't run
But I can't do that anymore

I can't find my way to stay
And I can't see my way to go
But I can't give up without a fight.

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes,
Leave you all far behind
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
If they ever were mine

Well you've been trying
And I know it's been hard
And I'm afraid of
All this blood in my heart

If there's one thing certain
It's there ain't nothing for sure
And I want to run
But I can't do that anymore

'Cos I can't meet you half way
And I can't have it my way
And I can't give up without a fight

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes,
Leave you all far behind
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
All of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
Like they ever were mine

I could count the good times we had
On one hand
All the rest was
A sort of means to the end

Well now it's done
And I can never
Go back where I was before
And I want to run...

I can get myself clean in a matter of minutes
Get it wrong every time
All of my whole world and all the things in it are hard to, hard to find
Everything changed in a matter of minutes
Nothing was saved in time
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
But they never
never
never
were mine
I've been thinking
About you and me
Maybe I was just
Seeing what I wanted to see

Well you can call me crazy
But you know this time I swore
That I wouldn't run
But I can't do that anymore

I can't find my way to stay
And I can't see my way to go
But I can't give up without a fight.

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes,
Leave you all far behind
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
If they ever were mine

Well you've been trying
And I know it's been hard
And I'm afraid of
All this blood in my heart

If there's one thing certain
It's there ain't nothing for sure
And I want to run
But I can't do that anymore

'Cos I can't meet you half way
And I can't have it my way
And I can't give up without a fight

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes,
Leave you all far behind
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
All of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
Like they ever were mine

I could count the good times we had
On one hand
All the rest was
A sort of means to the end

Well now it's done
And I can never
Go back where I was before
And I want to run...

I can get myself clean in a matter of minutes
Get it wrong every time
All of my whole world and all the things in it are hard to, hard to find
Everything changed in a matter of minutes
Nothing was saved in time
And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find
But they never
never
never
were mine

Matter of Minutes by Shawn Colvin (cover)

Shawn Colvin is one of the main reasons I play the guitar the way I do. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite song of hers, but I was already in drop-D tuning, so I started to play this...
