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 you go I kept everything inside 
		D
And even though I tried it all fell apart
		C
What it meant to me will eventually 
	    D
Be a memory of a time when


           Em		   G	           D			C     
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter
          Em              G               D                    C       
I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter


         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 part of your property
       C
Remembering all the times you've fought with me
        D
I'm surprised it got so (far)
     Em
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)
     Em
You kept everything inside
        D 
And even though I tried it all fell apart
       C
What it meant to me will eventually 
        D
Be a memory of a time when

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

             Em    D            C              D    
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
