Introduction: C Am Em G C Am Em 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.
Am
Do do do do do
Em
Do do do do do
G
It's safe to say that
C Em
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
C Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Dm
Either it's time well spent
G
Or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
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
Am
Do do do do do
Em
Do do do do do
G
It's safe to say that
C Em
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
C Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Dm
Either it's time well spent
G
or time I've wasted.
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 saved
Dm
In my head, I'm alone
G
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
C
Just like you, I've been tryin'
Em
To escape, in my bones
Dm
I feel cold, I give thanks
G
To the lord, industry
C
In this street, let me go
Em
Let me be, I don't need
Dm
To be here, I'm alone
G
Can't you see? Can't you see?
C Em
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
C Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Dm
Either it's time well spent
G
or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
