Intro: Dm - C (3x) Bb C
Verse 1:
Dm It
starts with one thing I don't know why
C It doesn't even matter how hard you
try Bb Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
C To explain in due time
Dm All I know, time is a valuable
thing C Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Bb Watch it count down to the end of the day
C The clock ticks life away
Dm It's so unreal, didn't look out
below C Watch the time go right out the window Bb Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
C I wasted it all just to
Dm Watch you go, I kept everything
inside
C And even though I tried, it all fell apart Bb What it meant to me will eventually be
C A memory of a time when
Refrain:
Dm
F I tried so hard and got so far
C
Bb But in the end it doesn't even
matter
Dm
F I had to fall to lose it all
C
Bb But in the end it doesn't even
matter
Verse 2: Dm
One thing, I don't know why
C It doesn't even matter how hard you
try Bb Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
C To remind myself how
Dm
C I tried so hard, in spite of the
way you were mocking me
Bb Acting like I was part of your
property
C Remembering all the times you
fought with me
Dm I'm surprised it got so far
C Things aren't the way they were
before
Bb You wouldn't even recognize me
anymore not that you knew me back then
C But it all comes back to me
Dm In the end you kept everything
inside
C And even though I tried, it all
fell apart Bb What it meant to me will eventually be
C A memory of a time when
Refrain:
Dm
F I tried so hard and got so far
C
Bb But in the end it doesn't even
matter
Dm
F I had to fall to lose it all
C
Bb But in the end it doesn't even
matter
