In The End

I- It starts with One thing I don’t know why
D
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
C
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
D
To explain in due time
Em
All I know Time 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 ticks life away
Em
It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below
D
Watch the time go right out the window
C
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
D
Wasted it all just to
Em
Watch you go I kept everything inside
D
And even though I tried it all fell apart
C
What it meant to me will eventually
D
Be a memory of a time when

Em     G            D   C    2x
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

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

Chorus

Em    D            C              D    2x
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this There’s only one thing you should know

Em    D            C              D    2x
I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this There’s only one thing you should know

wounds so deep they never show

Sejarah

Kota ini dianggap sebagai salah satu pusat dari kerajaan Sriwijaya,^[3] Serangan Rajendra Chola dari Kerajaan Chola pada tahun 1025, menyebabkan kota ini hanya menjadi pelabuhan sederhana yang tidak berarti lagi bagi para pedagang asing.^[3]

Selanjutnya berdasarkan kronik Tiongkok nama Pa-lin-fong yang terdapat pada buku Chu-fan-chi yang ditulis pada tahun 1178 oleh Chou-Ju-Kua dirujuk kepada Palembang.^[4][5]

Berdasarkan kisah Kidung Pamacangah dan Babad Arya Tabanan disebutkan seorang tokoh dari Kediri yang bernama Arya Damar sebagai bupati Palembang turut serta menaklukan Bali bersama dengan Gajah Mada Mahapatih Majapahit pada tahun 1343.^[6]

Kemudian sekitar tahun 1513, Tomé Pires seorang petualang dari Portugis menyebutkan Palembang,^[7] telah dipimpin oleh seorang patih yang ditunjuk dari Jawa yang kemudian dirujuk kepada kesultanan Demak serta turut serta menyerang Malaka yang waktu itu telah dikuasai oleh Portugis.

Palembang muncul sebagai kesultanan pada tahun 1659 dengan Sri Susuhunan Abdurrahman sebagai raja pertamanya.^[8] Namun pada tahun 1823 kesultanan Palembang dihapus oleh pemerintah Hindia-Belanda.^[9] Setelah itu Palembang dibagi menjadi dua keresidenan besar dan pemukiman di Palembang dibagi menjadi daerah Ilir dan Ulu.

Pada tanggal 27 September 2005, Kota Palembang telah dicanangkan oleh Presiden RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono sebagai "Kota Wisata Air" seperti Bangkok di Thailand dan Phnom Penh di Kamboja. Tahun 2008 Kota Palembang menyambut kunjungan wisata dengan nama "Visit Musi 2008".

Saat ini Palembang tengah bersiap untuk mejadi salah satu kota pelaksana pesta olahraga olahraga dua tahunan se-Asia Tenggara yaitu SEA GamesXXVII Tahun 2011.
