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

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

or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
