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