Db5 
It starts with - one thing - I don't know why 
   Em 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try 
   B5 
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme 
    F#5 
to explain in due time 
       Db5 
All I know - Time is a valuable thing 
  Em 
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings 
B5 
Watch it cunt down to the end of the day 
          F#5 
The clock ticks life away 
            Db5 
It's so unreal - Didn't look out below 
Em 
Watch the time go right out the window 
B5 
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know 
F#5 
Wasted it all just to 
             Db5 
Watch it go   I kept everything inside and even 
Em 
though I tried, it all fell apart 
B5 
What it meant to me will eventually 
     F#5 
be a memory of a time when 
 
Refrão: 
            Db5            Em 
I tried so hard And got so far 
           B5                      F#5 
But in the end    It doesn't even matter 
         Db5             Em 
I had to fall to lose it all 
           B5                       F#5 
But in the end    It doesn't even matter 
 
Db5 
One thing - I don't know why 
   Em 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try 
B5 
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme 
F#5 
to remind myself how 
             Db5 
I tried so hard  In spite of the way you were mocking me 
Em 
Acting like I was a part of your property 
B5 
Remembering all the times you fought with me 
F#5 
I'm surprised 
            Db5 
It got so far  Things aren't  the way they were before 
Em 
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore 
B5 
Not that you knew me back then 
       F#5 
But it all comes back to me 
       Ebm 
In the end 
                                Em 
You kept everything inside and even 
 
though I tried it all fell apart 
B5 
What it meant to me will eventually 
     F#5 
be a memory of a time when

For all this  there's only one thing you should know
