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

Bb                      Dm
I don't think you understand!

F
Walls keep breaking
 
Bb                          Dm
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Cm
Either it's time well spent

or time I've wasted.

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