EmIt starts with One thing I don't know why

DIt doesn't even matter how hard you try

CKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme

DTo explain in due time

EmAll I know Time is a valuable thing

DWatch it fly by as the pendulum swings

CWatch it count down to the end of the day

DThe clock ticks life away

EmIt's so unreal Didn't look out below

DWatch the time go right out the window

CTrying to hold on but didn't even know

DWasted it all just to

EmWatch you go I kept everything inside

DAnd even though I tried it all fell apart

CWhat it meant to me will eventually

DBe a memory of a time when

Em G D CI tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter

Em G D CI had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter

EmOne thing I don't know why

DIt doesn't even matter how hard you try

CKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme

DTo remind myself how

EmI tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me

DActing like I was part of your property

CRemembering all the times you've fought with me

D EmI'm surprised it got so (far)

EmThings aren't the way they were before

DYou wouldn't even recognize me anymore

CNot that you knew me back then

DBut it all comes back to me

Em(In the end)

You kept everything inside

DAnd even though I tried it all fell apart

CWhat it meant to me will eventually

DBe a memory of a time when

Em G D CI tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter

Em G D CI had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter

Em D C DI put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go

Em D C DAnd for all this There's only one thing you should know

Em D C DI put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go

Em D C DAnd for all this There's only one thing you should know

Em G D CI tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter

Em G D CI had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter
