Em
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
Watch you go I kept everything inside
        D
And even though I tried it all fell apart
        C
What it meant to me will eventually
        D
Be a memory of a time when



           Em           G               D            C    2x
I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter
I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter


Repeat 1st Stanza Chords

II-    One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you've fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
(In the end)
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when

Chorus

               Em    D            C              D    2x
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this There's only one thing you should know

             Em    D            C              D    2x
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this There's only one thing you should know
