Em
It starts with One thing I don't know why
D
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
C
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
D
To explain in due time
Em
All I know Time is a valuable thing
D
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
C
Watch it count down to the end of the day
D
The clock ticks life away
Em
It's so unreal Didn't look out below
D
Watch the time go right out the window
C
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
D
Wasted it all just to
Em
Watch you go I kept everything inside
D
And even though I tried it all fell apart
C
What it meant to me will eventually
D
Be a memory of a time when
Em G D C
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter
Em G D C
I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter
Em
One thing I don't know why
D
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
C
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
D
To remind myself how
Em
I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me
D
Acting like I was part of your property
C
Remembering all the times you've fought with me
D Em
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Em
Things aren't the way they were before
D
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
C
Not that you knew me back then
D
But it all comes back to me
Em
(In the end)
You kept everything inside D
And even though I tried it all fell apart
C
What it meant to me will eventually
D
Be a memory of a time when
[Chorus] Em G D C
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter
Em G D C
I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter
Em D C D
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
Em D C D
And for all this There's only one thing you should know
Em D C D
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
Em D C D
And for all this There's only one thing you should know
Em G D C
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter
Em G D C
