It__ starts__ with__ - one thing - I don't know why

   D 

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

C

keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

D

to explain in due time

          Em

All__ I__ 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

          D

The clock ticks life away

            Em

It's__ so__ 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

Wasted it all just to

             Em      G5      D5

Watch__ it__ go___________________________________________________



                             I kept everything inside and even

D

though I tried, it all fell apart

C

What it meant to me will eventually

     D

be a memory of a time when





                 E5                     G5

I__ tried__ so__ hard___  And_ got_ so_ far__

           D5                       C

But in the end__    It doesn't even mat__ter__

               E5                     G5

I__ had__ to__ fall___  to_ lose_ it_ all____

           D5                       C

But in the end__    It doesn't even mat__ter__er_er_er__





Em

One thing - I don't know why

   D 

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

C

keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

D

to remind myself how

                 Em

I__ tried__ so__ hard___ In spite of the way you were mocking me

D

Acting like I was a part of your property

C

Remembering all the times you fought with me

D

I'm surprised

                Em

It__ got__ so__ far__ Things  aren't  the way they were before

D

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

C

Not that you knew me back then

       D

But it all comes back to me

       Em

In the end_____________________________________________



                 You kept everything inside and even

D

though I tried it all fell apart

C

What it meant to me will eventually

     D

be a memory of a time when
