[Verse 1]
C#m C#m G# C#m
I tried so hard and got so far
C#m G#
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
C#m G#
I had to fall to lose it all
C#m A G# C#m
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
[Chorus]
B E A B
One thing, I don't know why
E A B
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
E G# C#m
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
G# C#m B
To explain in due time, all I know
E A
Time is a valuable thing
B C#m
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
C#m G# F# B E B
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
B E A B
What have I done?
B E A B
What have I done?
[Verse 2]
C#m C#m G# C#m
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
C#m G#
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
C#m G#
It all keeps adding up
F# F#m C#m G#
I think I've finally lost my touch
C#m G#
Don't know what I'm waiting for
B F#
And my time is running thin
[Chorus]
B E A B
One thing, I don't know why
E A B
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
E G# C#m
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
G# C#m B
To explain in due time, all I know
E A
Time is a valuable thing
B C#m
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
C#m G# F# B E B
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
B E A B
What have I done?
B E A B
What have I done?
[Bridge]
F# B C#m B C#m A B
My sweetest friend
C#m A
Everyone I know goes away in the end
G# F# B C#m B C#m B
And you could have it all
G# C#m A B
My empire of dirt
C#m A
I will let you down
G# C#m B C#m B
I will make you hurt
[Chorus]
B E A B
One thing, I don't know why
E A B
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
E G# C#m
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
G# C#m B
To explain in due time, all I know
E A
Time is a valuable thing
B C#m
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
C#m G# F# B E B
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
B E A B
What have I done?
B E A B
What have I done?
