I- It starts with One [Em]th ing I don't know why
It doesn't [D]ev en matter how hard you try
Keep that [C]i n mind I designed this rhyme
To [D]explain in due time
All I know [Em]Ti me is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by [D]as the pendulum swings
Watch it count [C]down to the end of the day
The clock [D]tic ks life away
It's so [Em]unre al Didn't look out below
Watch the [D]ti me go right out the window
Trying to hold [C]on but didn't even know
Wasted it [D]a ll just to
Watch you go [Em]I kept everything inside
And even though I [D]tried it all fell apart
What it meant [C]t o me will eventually
Be a memory [D]of a time when
I tried so [Em]har d And got so [G]far
But in the [D]end It doesn't [C]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
I put my [Em]tru st in [D]yo u [C]Pushed as far as [D]I ca n go
And for all this There's only one thing you should know
I put my [Em]tru st in [D]you Pushed [C]as far as I [D]can go
And for all this There's only one thing you should know
It doesn't [D]ev en matter how hard you try
Keep that [C]i n mind I designed this rhyme
To [D]explain in due time
All I know [Em]Ti me is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by [D]as the pendulum swings
Watch it count [C]down to the end of the day
