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