Intro
[Am] [G] x4
===
Verse
It starts with [Am] one thing I don't know why
It [G] doesn't even matter how hard you try
[F] Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To [G] explain in due time
All I [Am] know, time is a valuable thing
[G] Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
[F] Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock [G] ticks life away
It's so [Am] unreal, didn't look out below
[G] Watch the time go right out the window
[F] Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
[G] Or wasted it all just to
Watch you [Am] go, I kept everything inside
And [G] even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A [G] memory of a time when
Chorus
I tried so [Am] hard and got so [C] far
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
I had to [Am] fall to lose it [C] all
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
Verse
[Am] One thing, I don't know why
It [G] doesn't even matter how hard you try
[F] Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To [G] remind myself how
I tried so [Am] hard, in spite of the way you were mocking [G] me
Acting like I was part of your [F] property
Remembering all the times you fought with [G] me
I'm surprised it got so [Am] far
Things aren't the way they were [G] before
You wouldn't even recognize me [F] anymore
Not that you knew me back then but [G] it all comes back to me
In the [Am] end you kept everything inside
And even [G] though I tried, it all fell apart
[F] What it meant to me will eventually be
A [G] memory of a time when
Chorus
I tried so [Am] hard and got so [C] far
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
I had to [Am] fall to lose it [C] all
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
Bridge
I've put my [Am] trust in [G] you
Pushed as [F] far as I can [G] go
And for all [Am] this
There's only [G] one thing you should [F] know [G]
I've put my [Am] trust in [C] you
Pushed as [G] far as I can [F] go
And for all [Am] this
There's only [C] one thing you should [G] know [F]
Chorus
I tried so [Am] hard and got so [C] far
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
I had to [Am] fall to lose it [C] all
But in the [G] end it doesn't even [F] matter
