CmIt starts with One thing I don't know why

A#It doesn't even matter how hard you try

G#Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

A#To explain in due time

CmAll I know Time is a valuable thing

A#Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

G#Watch it count down to the end of the day

A#The clock ticks life away

CmIt's so unreal Didn't look out below

A#Watch the time go right out the window

G#Trying to hold on but didn't even know

A#Wasted it all just to

CmWatch you go I kept everything inside

A#And even though I tried it all fell apart

G#What it meant to me will eventually

A#Be a memory of a time when

Cm D# A# G#I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter

Cm D# A# G#I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter

A#It doesn't even matter how hard you try

G#Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

G#Remembering all the times you've fought with me

A# CmI'm surprised it got so (far)

CmThings aren't the way they were before
