"A MATTER OF TIME" - Thomas Jefferson Tabbed by: Sparkyisme Email: crownthegoldfish@gmail.com Tuning: Standard, Capo 4 This is a song by Thomas Jefferson in I Made America, a transmedia series you should definitely check out, if you haven't. Thomas Jefferson is played by Matt Herzau. x2 You know me well, but I know I don't belong here. I've tried through time just to make my song clear. But who am I without my reputation? Can I stand up to my own expectations? In a different world, in a different time, I knew my purpose, I felt so alive, Now I start once more, I have been reborn. A flake in a flurry, a drop in a storm. I've lost it all what long ago was mine. The music speaks to me but what it's saying I can't decide. Putting melody to rhyme. Doesn't make a difference down the line. It's just a matter of time. My friends have gone in the opposite direction. Try as I might, I avoid detection. Is my choice right, or just a flight of fancy? I know my past, it's the future that I can't see. In a different world, in a different place. I had America's third most recognizable face. And then suddenly, out of history, I'm one in seven-billion and it terrifies me. I've lost it all what long ago was mine. The music speaks to me but what it's saying I can't decide. And I'm looking for my sign. And I'm hoping I will find it x2 In a matter of time. SOLO: not sure how accurate this is..

Or will I find my path, will I find my spark To illuminate me and get me out of the dark? I've lost it all what long ago was mine. The music speaks to me but what it's saying I can't decide. By the nickel, by the dime. It's a mountain I can climb. It's there for me to find, It's just a matter of time. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x mute note
