e b b g f♯ f♯ f♯ f♯^g e b b g f♯ f♯ f♯ f♯^g  x 2  (fin: reste)

It doesn't even matter how hard you try
     c
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
     d
To explain in due time

(All I know) Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

(It's so unreal) Didn't look out below                     w/ riff
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to

(Watch you go) I 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

             E5              G5                       w/ harmoniques (disto)
  I tried so hard and got so far
             D5                  C5      D5/
  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  B5

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 mockin' me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it

(Got so far) Things aren't the way they were before        w/ riff
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

  Refrain  +  extra C5

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go                        x 2  (doux puis w/ refrain)
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

  Refrain

riff  x 2  (ral.)
