Chords

[Intro] C Am Em G C Am Em G [Verse]
     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
[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 worth spent

   G
or time I've wasted
Don't waste it [Instrumental] C Am Em G [Verse]
  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
[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 worth spent

   G
or time I've wasted
[Solo] C Bm C F C Bm C D Em F Em G F E G [Bridge]
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

                  Dm
Let me be I don't need
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 worth spent

   G
or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
