Intro -x2-: Eb  Cm  Gm  Bb
 
Verse 1:
     Eb
In a far and distant galaxy
  Cm
Inside my telescope I see
  Gm
a pair of eyes peer back at me
   Bb
He walks and talks and looks like me
Eb
Sits around inside his house
     Cm
From room to room he moves about
Gm
Fills his life with pointless things
    Bb                        Eb
And wonders how it all turns out.
            Cm
Do do do do   do
            Gm
Do do do do   do
     Bb
It's safe to say that
 
Chorus:
Eb                      Gm
I don't think you understand!
                  Fm
There's nowhere left to turn
  Bb
Walls keep breaking
 
Eb                           Gm
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Fm
Either it's time well spent
   Bb
Or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
 
Interlude: Eb Cm Gm Bb
 
Verse 2:
  Eb
Afraid of what the truth might bring
   Cm
He locks his doors and never leaves
Gm
Desperately searching for signs
    Bb
Too terrified, to find a thing
  Eb
He battens all the hatches down
    Cm
And wonders why he hears no sounds
 Gm
Frantically searching his dreams
   Bb                      Eb
He wonders what it's all about
            Cm
Do do do do   do
            Gm
Do do do do   do
     Bb
It's safe to say that

Eb                      Gm

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Fm

or time I've wasted.

Bridge:
Eb
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Gm
Fall on my face do it again.
    Fm
You say how, do, you do.
Bb
  Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
Eb
  To be free, to be sold
Gm
  To be killed, to be saved
Fm
  In my head, I'm alone
Bb
  I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
Eb
  Just like you, I've been tryin'
Gm
  To escape, in my bones
Fm
  I feel cold, I give thanks
Bb
  To the lord, industry
Eb
  In this street, let me go
Gm
  Let me be, I don't need
Fm
  To be here, I'm alone
Bb
  Can't you see? Can't you see?
