Intro: Dm C x4
Verse:
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
Or 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
Chorus:
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:
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
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
Dm C
I've put my trust in you
Bb C
Pushed as far as I can go
Dm
And for all this
C Bb C
There's only one thing you should know
Dm F
I've put my trust in you
C Bb
Pushed as far as I can go
Dm
And for all this
F C Bb
There's only one thing you should know
Final Chorus:
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
