[Verse]
It starts with Dmone thing I don't know why
It Cdoesn't even matter how hard you try
BbKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To Cexplain in due time
All I Dmknow, time is a valuable thing
CWatch it fly by as the pendulum swings
BbWatch it count down to the end of the day
The clock Cticks life away
It's so unDmreal, didn't look out below
CWatch the time go right out the window
BbTrying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wCasted it all just to
Watch you Dmgo, I kept everything inside
And even tChough I tried, it all fell apart
BbWhat it meant to me will eventually be
A memory Cof a time when
[Chorus]
I tried so Dmhard and got so Ffar
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
I had to Dmfall to lose it Fall
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
[Verse]
DmOne thing, I don't know why
It Cdoesn't even matter how hard you try
BbKeep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remiCnd myself how
I tried so Dmhard, in spite of the way you were mocking me
CActing like I was part of your property
BbRemembering all the times you fought with me
CI'm surprised it got so Dmfar
Things aren't the way they were before
CYou wouldn't even recognize me anymore
BbNot that you knew me back then
But it Call comes back to me
In the Dmend you kept everything inside
And even Cthough I tried, it all fell apart
BbWhat it meant to me will eventually be
A memorCy of a time when
[Chorus]
I tried so Dmhard and got so Ffar
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
I had to Dmfall to lose it Fall
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
[Bridge]
I've put my Dmtrust in Cyou
Pushed as Bbfar as I can Cgo
And for all tDmhis
There's only Cone thing you should BbknowC  
I've put my Dmtrust in Fyou
Pushed as Cfar as I can Bbgo
And for all tDmhis
There's only Fone thing you should CknowBb  
[Chorus]
I tried so Dmhard and got so Ffar
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
I had to Dmfall to lose it Fall
But in the Cend it doesn't even Bbmatter
