Intro: Em D C D x2

It starts with Emone thing I donʼt know Dwhy
It doesnʼt even matter how hard you Ctry

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
DTo explain in due time

All EmI know, time is a valuable Dthing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum sCwings
Watch it count down to the end of the Dday

The clock ticks life away

Itʼs so Emunreal, didnʼt look out beDlow
Watch the time go right out the winCdow
Trying to hold on, but didnʼt even Dknow

Or wasted it all just to

Watch Emyou go, I kept everything inDside
And even though I tried, it all fell aCpart
What it meant to me will eventually Dbe

A memory of a time when

Chorus:
    I tried Emso hard and got Gso far
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter
    I had Emto fall to lose Git all
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter

EmOne thing, I donʼt know Dwhy
It doesnʼt even matter how hard you Ctry

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To Dremind myself how

I tried Emso hard, in spite of the way you were Dmocking me
Acting like I was part of your Cproperty
Remembering all the times you fought Dwith me

Iʼm surprised it got Emso far
Things arenʼt the way they were beDfore
You wouldnʼt even recognize me anyCmore
Not that you knew me back then Dbut it all comes back to me

In Emthe end you kept everything inDside
And even though I tried, it all fell aCpart
What it meant to me will eventually Dbe

A memory of a time when

Chorus:
    I tried Emso hard and got Gso far
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter
    I had Emto fall to lose Git all
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter

Bridge:
    Iʼve put Emmy trust Din you
    Pushed Cas far as I Dcan go
    And for Emall this
    Thereʼs only Done thing you Cshould knDow

    Iʼve put Emmy trust Din you
    Pushed Cas far as I Dcan go
    And for Emall this
    Thereʼs only Done thing you Cshould knDow

Chorus:
    I tried Emso hard and got Gso far
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter
    I had Emto fall to lose Git all
    But in Dthe end it doesnʼt even Cmatter
