[Am]
[Em] [G]
[C] [Am]
[Em] [G]
[C] In a far and distant galaxy, [Am] inside my telescope I [Em] see
A pair of eyes spit back at me [G] He walks and talks and looks like [C] me
Sits around inside his [Am] house From room to room he moves about
[Em] Feels his life with pointless [G] things and wonders how it all [C] turns out
[Am]
[Em] [G] Safe to say that [C] I don't think you [Em] understand
There's no where [Dm] left to turn [G] Walls keep breaking
[C] time is like a leaf in [Em] the wind either [Dm] it's time well spent or [G] time I've wasted
don't waste [C] it
[Am] [Em]
[G] [C] afraid of what the truth might [Am] bring he locks his doors and never [Em] leaves
desperately searching for [G] signs too terrified to find a thing
[C] he batons all the hatches [Am] down and wonders why he hears no [Em] sounds
frantically searching his [G] dreams he wonders what it's all [C] about
[Am] [Em]
[G] it's safe to say that [C] I don't think you
[Em] understand
there's nowhere [Dm] left to turn [G] walls keep breaking
[C] time is like a leaf in [Em] the wind either [Dm] it's time well spent or [G] time I've wasted

[F] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[C] you remind, you're my [Em] friends, right in my face
do it again [Dm] and you say how do you [G] do
man how do you, man how [C] do you
to be free, to [Em] be told, to be killed, to [Dm] be saved, in my head
I'm [G] alone, I'm a dead, I'm [C] a shame, just like you
I've [Em] been trying, really scared, in [Dm] my bones
I've been told, I [G] can't thank, to the Lord
in [C] this heat, in this dream, let [Em] me go, let me be
I [Dm] don't need to be here, I'm [G] alone, dead can see, dead [C] can see
I don't think you [Em] understand
there's nowhere [Dm] left to turn [G] walls keep breaking
[C] time is like a leaf in [Em] the wind either [Dm] it's time well spent [G] or time I've wasted
don't waste it
