[Intro]
C Am Em G
C Am Em G
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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.
[Instrumental]
C Am Em G
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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.

[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 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?
[Chorus]
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.
