[Intro]

Em
[Verse 1]
G C
In a far and distant galaxy
Am
Inside my telescope I see
Em
A pair of eyes peer back at me
G
He walks and talks and looks like me
C
Sits around inside his house
Am
From room to room, he moves about
Em
Fills his life with pointless things
G C
And wonders how it all turns out
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Dododododo
Em
Dododododo
G
It's safe to say that
[Chorus]
C
I don't think you understand
Em Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
The walls keep breaking
C
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Em Dm G
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
[Verse 2]
C Am Em G C
Afraid of what the truth might bring
Am
He locks his doors and never leaves
Em
Desperately searching for signs
G
Too terrified to find a thing
C
He battens all the hatches down
Am
And wonders why he hears no sounds
Em
Frantically searching his dreams
G C
He wonders what it's all about
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Dododododo
Em
Dododododo
G
It's safe to say that
[Chorus]
C
I don't think you understand
Em Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
The walls keep breaking
C
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Em Dm G
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
[Solo]

[Bridge]
C
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Em
Fall on my face, do it again
Dm
You say, "How do you do?"
G
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
C
To be free, to be sold
Em
To be killed, to be safe
Dm
In my head, I'm alone
G
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
C Em
Just like you, I've been trying to escape
Dm
In my bones, I feel cold
G
I give thanks to the Lord
C
Industry, in the street
Em
Let me go, let me be
Dm
I don't need to be here
G
I'm alone, can't you see?
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
C
I don't think you understand
Em Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
These walls keep breaking
C
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Em Dm G
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Don't waste it.
