[Intro]
Em D C D
x2
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
Em
It starts with one...
One, then multiplies 'til you can taste the sun
D
And burned by the sky you try to take it from
C
But if it falls, there's no place to run
D Em
Crumbling down, it's so unreal
They're dealing you in to determine your end
D
And sending you back again, to places you've been
C D
And bending your will 'til it breaks you, within
Em
And still, they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
D
And the highlights on a frame of steel
C
See the brightness of your likeness
D Em
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
D
As it's seeming that you've played your part
C
Like you're heartless, take apart this
D
In the darkness, but I know that I've tried so hard
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Em G
I tried so hard and got so far
D C
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Em G
I had to fall to lose it all
D C B
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
Em
I've looked down the line
And what's there is not what ought to be
D
Held back by the battles they fought for me
C
Calling me to be part of their property
D Em
And now, I see that I get no chance
I get no break
D
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
C
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
D Em
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twilight through the skylight
D
And the highlights on a frame of steel
C
See the brightness of your likeness
D Em
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
D
As it's seeming that you've played your part
C
Like you're heartless, take apart this
D
In the darkness, but I know that I tried so hard
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Em G
I tried so hard and got so far
D C
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Em G
I had to fall to lose it all
D C B
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
Em D C D
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
Em D C D
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
Em D C D
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
Em D C
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
Em D C D
I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
Em D C D
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Em G
I tried so hard and got so far
D C
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Em G
I had to fall to lose it all
D C B Em
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
[Chester Bennington:]
It starts with one
[Mike Shinoda:]
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 explain in due time
[Chester Bennington:]
All I know
[Mike Shinoda:] 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
[Chester Bennington:]
It's so unreal
[Mike Shinoda:]
It's so unreal, didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
[Chester Bennington:]
Watch you go
[Mike Shinoda:]
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 I tried so hard
[Chester Bennington:]
I tried so hard
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
[Mike Shinoda:]
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
[Chester Bennington:]
I tried so hard
[Mike Shinoda:]
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
[Chester Bennington:]
Got so far
[Mike Shinoda:]
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
[Chester Bennington:]
In the end
[Mike Shinoda:]
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 I tried so hard
[Chester Bennington:]
I tried so hard
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
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
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
