| Intro: Piano Ebm-C#-B-C# (x2) |
| Verse 1: |
| Ebm | |
| It starts with | One thing I don't know why |
| C# | |
| It | doesn't even matter how hard you try |
| B | |
| Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme |
| C# | |
| To ex | plain in due time |
| B | C# | Ebm | |
| All | I | know Time is a valuable thing |
| C# | |
| Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings |
| B | |
| Watch it count down to the end of the day |
| C# | |
| The clock | ticks life away |
| B | C# | Ebm | |
| It's | so | un- | real Didn't look out below |
| C# | |
| Watch the time go right out the window |
| B | |
| Trying to hold on but didn't even know |
| C# | |
| Wasted it all just to |
| B | C# | Ebm | |
| Watch | you | go I kept everything inside |
| C# | |
| And even | though I tried it all fell apart |
| B | |
| What it meant to me will eventually |
| C# | |
| Be a memo | ry of a time when |
| Chorus: |
| Ebm | F# | |
| I tried so | hard And got so | far |
| C# | B | |
| But in the | end It doesn't even | matter |
| B | C# | Ebm | F# | |
| I | had | to | fall To lose it | all |
| C# | B | |
| But in the | end It doesn't even | matter |
| Verse 2: |
| Ebm | |
| One thing I don't know why |
| C# | |
| It | doesn't even matter how hard you try |
| B | |
| Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme |
| C# | |
| To re | mind myself how |
| B | C# | Ebm | |
| I | tried | so | hard In spite of |
| C# | |
| the way you were mocking | me |
| Acting like I was |
| B | |
| part of your proper | ty |
| Remembering all the times |
| you've fought with me |
| C# | B | C# | |
| I'm surprised it | got | so (far) |
| Ebm | |
| Things aren't the |
| way they were before |
| C# | |
| You wouldn't even |
| recognize me anymore |
| B | |
| Not that you knew me back then |
| C# | |
| But it | all comes back to me |
| B | C# | Ebm | |
| ( | In | the | end) |
| You kept everything inside |

| Be a memo | ry of a time when |
