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

E
Walls keep breaking
 
A                          Dbm
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Bm
Either it's time well spent
   E
or time I've wasted.

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