[Verse1]
[nc]                   Em
It__ starts__ with__ - one thing - I don't know why
   D 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
C
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
D
to explain in due time
          Em
All__ I__ know__ - Time is a valuable thing
D 
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
C
Watch it count down to the end of the day
          D
The clock ticks life away
            Em
It's__ so__ unreal__ - Didn't look out below
D
Watch the time go right out the window
C
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
D
Wasted it all just to
             Em
Watch__ it__ go___________________________________________________
               I kept everything inside and even
D
though I tried, it all fell apart
C
What it meant to me will eventually
     D
be a memory of a time when
[Chorus]
                 E5                     G5
I__ tried__ so__ hard___  And_ got_ so_ far__
           D5                       C
But in the end__    It doesn't even mat__ter__
               E5                     G5
I__ had__ to__ fall___  to_ lose_ it_ all____
           D5                       C
But in the end__    It doesn't even mat__ter__er_er_er__
[Verse2]
Em
One thing - I don't know why
   D 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
C
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
D
to remind myself how
                 Em
I__ tried__ so__ hard___ In spite of the way you were mocking me
D
Acting like I was a part of your property
C
Remembering all the times you fought with me
D
I'm surprised
                Em
It__ got__ so__ far__ Things  aren't  the way they were before
D
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
C
Not that you knew me back then
       D
But it all comes back to me
       Em
In the end_____________________________________________
                 You kept everything inside and even
D
though I tried it all fell apart
C
What it meant to me will eventually
     D
be a memory of a time when
