               D#m
It starts with one thing I don't know why
    C#
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
 B
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
   C#
To explain in due time
       D#m
All I know, time is a valuable thing
 C#
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
 B
Watch it count down to the end of the day
           C#
The clock ticks life away
          D#m
It's so unreal, didn't look out below
C#
Watch the time go right out the window
  B
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
   C#
I wasted it all just to
          D#m
Watch you go, I kept everything inside
          C#
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
  B
What it meant to me will eventually be
      C#
A memory of a time when


             D#m              F#
  I tried so hard and got so far
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter
           D#m             F#
  I had to fall to lose it all
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter

D#m
One thing, I don't know why
    C#
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
 B
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
      C#                         D#m
To remind myself how I tried so hard
                                        C#
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
                                        B
Actin' like I was part of your property
                                             C#
Rememberin' all the times you fought with me
                        D#m
I'm surprised it got so far
                                       C#
Things aren't the way they were before
                                       B
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
       C#                          D#m
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
           C#
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
  B
What it meant to me will eventually be
       C#
A memory of a time when

             D#m              F#
  I tried so hard and got so far
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter
           D#m             F#
  I had to fall to lose it all
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter

             D#m      C#
I've put my trust in you
           B           C#
Pushed as far as I can go
             D#m
And for all this
             C#                     B  C#
There's only one thing you should know
             D#m      F#
I've put my trust in you
           C#           B
Pushed as far as I can go
             D#m
And for all this
             F#                     C# B
There's only one thing you should know

             D#m              F#
  I tried so hard and got so far
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter
           D#m             F#
  I had to fall to lose it all
             C#                   B
  But in the end it doesn't even matter
