        Gm9             Am7             A#maj7
When we lift the cover from our feelings,
      F                 Gm
we expose our insecure spots.
           F               A#
Trust is just as rare as devotion.
    F                    Gm
Forgive us our cynical thoughts.

If we need too much attention
Not content with being cool
We must throw ourselves wide open
And start acting like a fool

If we need too much approval
Then the cuts can seem too cruel

C F           G           Dm    Am G
Right to the heart of the matter.
C F           G        Dm  Am  G
Right to the beautiful part.
C  F           G          Dm
Illusions are painfully shattered
 Am             G       C
Right where discovery starts.
        F      G        Dm    Am
In the secret wells of emotion
        G       C
Buried deep in our hearts.

It's true that love can change us
But never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender
Sometimes we're too tough

If we get too much attention
It gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns
To scorn and ridicule

Sometimes our big splashes
Are just ripples in the pool

Chorus
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions, illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts

Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts

Feelings run high
