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
           B     C#              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
     B   C#        D#m
It's  so   un-real    
                      
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#           
Wasted it   all just to
          B#          C#           D#m      
Watch you   go I kept   everything    inside
                  C#                       
And even though I   tried it all foll apart
                 B                  
What it meant to  me will eventually
             C#              
Be 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
  B       C#             D#m       F#
I  had to   fall to lose    it all   
           C#                    B      
But in the   and 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#              B      C#      D#m       
To   remind myself  how I   tried    so hard
                             C#           
In spite of the way you were   mocking me 
                               B        
Acting like I was part of your  property
                                               
Remembering all the times you've fought with me
    C#          B       C#        
I'm   surprised  it got   so (far)
                  D#m                    
Things aren't the    way they were before
                  C#                    
You wouldn't even   recognize me anymore
             B                 
Not that you  knew me back then
       C#          B        C#   D#            
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
               C#           
Be 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
  B       C#             D#m       F#
I  had to   fall to lose    it all   
           C#                    B      
But in the   and it doesn't even  matter
      D#m            C#   
I put    my trust in   you
      B          C#        
 Push  as far as   I can go
           D#m    
For all of    this
        C#               B           C#    
There's   only one thing  you should   know
         D#m         F#   
I put my    trust in   you
      C#                B  
 Push   as far as I can  go
    B    C#   D#m    
For  all   of    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
  B       C#             D#m       F#
I  had to   fall to lose    it all   
           C#                    B      
But in the   and it doesn't even  matter
