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

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

Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Gm
Either it's time well spent
    C
or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
