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