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

I've put my trust in
you
B
A
Pushed as far as I
can go
C#m
And for all this

A
There's only one

I tried so hard and

don't know why
It doesn't even

Keep that in mind I

To remind myself

Acting like I was

I'm surprised it got

Things aren't the

You wouldn't even

Not that you knew me

But it all comes
back to me
(In the end)
You kept everything
inside
And even though I
tried it all fell
apart
What it meant to me
will eventually
Be a memory of a
