Dm - C - Bb - C (2x)

1. 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

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

C

be a memory of a time when…

Dm F C Bb

I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter.

Dm F C Bb

I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end it doesn't even matter.

Dm

2. 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

I tried so hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me,

C

acting like I was part of your property,

Bb

remembering all the times you've fought with me,

C

I'm surprised…

Dm

It got so far, things aren't the way they were before,

C

you wouldn't even recognize me anymore,

Bb

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

C

be a memory of a time when…
