Intro
[Am] [G] x4
Verse
It starts with [Am]one thing I don't know why
It [G]doesn't even matter how hard you try
[F]Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To [G]explain in due time
All I [Am]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
The clock [G]ticks life away
It's so [Am]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
Watch you [Am]go, I kept everything inside
And [G]even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A [G]memory of a time when
Chorus
I tried so [Am]hard and got so [C]far
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
I had to [Am]fall to lose it [C]all
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
Verse
[Am]One thing, I don't know why
It [G]doesn't even matter how hard you try
[F]Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To [G]remind myself how
I tried so [Am]hard, in spite of the way you were mocking [G]me
Acting like I was part of your [F]property
Remembering all the times you fought with [G]me
I'm surprised it got so [Am]far
Things aren't the way they were [G]before
You wouldn't even recognize me [F]anymore
Not that you knew me back then but [G]it all comes back to me
In the [Am]end you kept everything inside
And even [G]though I tried, it all fell apart
[F]What it meant to me will eventually be
A [G]memory of a time when
Chorus
I tried so [Am]hard and got so [C]far
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
I had to [Am]fall to lose it [C]all
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
Bridge
I've put my [Am]trust in [G]you
Pushed as [F]far as I can [G]go
And for all [Am]this
There's only [G]one thing you should [F]know [G]
I've put my [Am]trust in [C]you
Pushed as [G]far as I can [F]go
And for all [Am]this
There's only [C]one thing you should [G]know [F]
Chorus
I tried so [Am]hard and got so [C]far
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
I had to [Am]fall to lose it [C]all
But in the [G]end it doesn't even [F]matter
