Dm C x4
[Estrofe]
               Dm 
It starts with one thing I don't know why 
   C 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try 
Bb 
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme 
   C 
To explain in due time 
      Dm 
All I know, time is a valuable thing 
C 
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings 
Bb 
Watch it count down to the end of the day 
          C 
The clock ticks life away 
          Dm 
It's so unreal, didn't look out below 
C 
Watch the time go right out the window 
Bb 
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know 
   C 
I wasted it all just to  
          Dm 
Watch you go, I kept everything inside 
    C 
And even though I tried, it all fell apart 
Bb 
What it meant to me will eventually be 
  C 
A memory of a time when
[Refrão]
           Dm              F 
I tried so hard and got so far 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter 
         Dm              F 
I had to fall to lose it all 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter
[Estrofe]
Dm 
One thing, I don't know why 
   C 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try 
Bb 
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme 
   C 
To remind myself how 
           Dm                                           C 
I tried so hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me 
                                       Bb 
Acting like I was part of your property 
                                            C 
Remembering all the times you fought with me 
                        Dm 
I'm surprised it got so far 
                                     C 
Things aren't the way they were before 
                                     Bb 
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore 
  
Not that you knew me back then 
       C 
But it all comes back to me 
       Dm 
In the end you kept everything inside 
         C 
And even though I tried, it all fell apart 
Bb 
What it meant to me will eventually be 
       C 
A memory of a time when
[Refrão]
           Dm              F 
I tried so hard and got so far 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter 
         Dm              F 
I had to fall to lose it all 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter
[Puente]
            Dm       C 
I've put my trust in you 
          Bb           C 
Pushed as far as I can go 
             Dm 
And for all this 
             C                    Bb   C 
There's only one thing you should know 
            Dm       F 
I've put my trust in you 
          C            Bb 
Pushed as far as I can go 
             Dm 
And for all this 
             F                    C   Bb 
There's only one thing you should know
[Refrão]
           Dm              F 
I tried so hard and got so far 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter 
         Dm              F 
I had to fall to lose it all 
           C                   Bb 
But in the end it doesn't even matter
