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. Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing He battens all the hatches down And wonders why he hears no sounds Frantically searching his dreams He wonders what it's all about Do-do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do-do It's safe to say that Chorus: I don't think you understand There's nowhere left to turn, the walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted 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: I don't think you understand There's nowhere left to turn, these walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted Don't waste it | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
