Intro -x2-: C  Am  Em  G
 
Verse 1:
     C
In a far and distant galaxy
  Am
Inside my telescope I see
  Em
a pair of eyes peer back at me
   G
He walks and talks and looks like me
C
Sits around inside his house
     Am
From room to room he moves about
Em
Fills his life with pointless things
    G                        C
And wonders how it all turns out.
            Am
Do do do do   do
            Em
Do do do do   do
     G
It's safe to say that
 
Chorus:
C                      Em
I don't think you understand!
                  Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
  G
Walls keep breaking
 
C                           Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Dm
Either it's time well spent
   G
Or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
 
Interlude: C Am Em G
 
Verse 2:
  C
Afraid of what the truth might bring
   Am
He locks his doors and never leaves
Em
Desperately searching for signs
    G
Too terrified, to find a thing
  C
He battens all the hatches down
    Am
And wonders why he hears no sounds
 Em
Frantically searching his dreams
   G                      C
He wonders what it's all about
            Am
Do do do do   do
            Em
Do do do do   do
     G
It's safe to say that
 
Chorus:
C                      Em
I don't think you understand!
                Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
 
C                          Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Dm
Either it's time well spent
   G
or time I've wasted.
 
Solo:
C  Bm  C  F  C
C  Bm  C  F  C
Bm C D Em F
Em G F E G
 
Bridge:
C
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Em
Fall on my face do it again.
    Dm
You say how, do, you do.
G
  Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
C
  To be free, to be sold
Em
  To be killed, to be saved
Dm
  In my head, I'm alone
G
  I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
C
  Just like you, I've been tryin'
Em
  To escape, in my bones
Dm
  I feel cold, I give thanks
G
  To the lord, industry
C
  In this street, let me go
Em
  Let me be, I don't need
Dm
  To be here, I'm alone
G
  Can't you see? Can't you see?
 
Chorus:
C                      Em
I don't think you understand!
                  Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
 

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

pleasefixthis

Why doesn’t it show through the whole song? Did this person get too lazy to complete what they started? Please update or revise it to make it easier for players. Also update the screwed up chord please.

hahameowmix

These chords are amazing, but could you please make sure they go all the way through? It’s hard to keep scrolling back and forth to keep up with the verses… 🙁

xuagram1

I think the first line would be: F Am F C rather than two Cs. then play that every time

Me

In the first line it instead goes F Am Csus C. Not two C’s or and F + C. Csus is played like this:

|—|—|-3-|—| (a string)
|-1-|—|—|—| (e string)
|—|—|—|—| (c string)
|—|—|—|—| (g string)

Hannahrosie6

Please show the chords throughout the entire song, its not ideal and makes it harder to use them ?

Cheesegirl

For the verses, I think it sounds better if you go: F Am F C, instead of too c’s.
Thx for the tab though:)

Paige

For all of the first C chords on each line, the chord is actually supposed to be Csus4

FluffyPlays

Strumming pattern anyone?

Voldemort

In the verses, it should be F Am Csus4 (Which is a C chord, but you also hold down the E string, first fret) C.

Voldemort

Every other line, that is.

Album: Melophobia

From the same album
  1. Cigarette Daydreams
  2. Come A Little Closer
  3. Hypocrite
  4. Telescope
  1. Not yet in this list? Request!
