Intro: C  Am  Em  G (2x) 

     C 
In a far and distant galaxy 
     Am 
Inside my telescope I see 
 Em 
A pair of eyes look 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 
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 worth spent 
   G 
or time I've wasted. 
Don't waste it. 

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 
to terrify, to find a thing 
  C 
He battens all the hatches down 
    Am 
and wonders why he hears no sound 
 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 
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 worth spent 
   G 
or time I've wasted. 

Solo: C Bm C F C 
     (Bm C D Em F) 
     (Em G F E G) 

C 
Clearing my mind, 
losing my friends 
Em 
Follow my fears 
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 son 
Em 
To be killed 
To be saved 
Dm 
In my head, I'm alone 
G 
I'm un-dead, I'm ashamed 
c 
Just like you, I've been tryin' 
      Em 
To be scared 
                    Dm 
In my bones, I feel cold. 
                   G 
I give this to the lord in the sea 
        C 
In this street 
       Em 
Let me go 
                  Em 
Let me be, I don't need 
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 worth spent 
   G 
or time I've wasted. 
Don't waste it.
