Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][G]
[C][Am][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
In a [C]far and distant galaxy
In[Am]side my telescope, I see
[Em]Pair of eyes peer back at me
He [G]walks and talks and looks like me
[C]Sits around inside his house
From [Am]room to room, he moves about
[Em]Fills his life with pointless things
And [G]wonders how it all turns

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C](out) [Am]Do-do-do-do, do
[Em]Do-do-do-do, do
It's [G]safe to say that

[Chorus 1]
[C]I don't think you unders[Em]tand
There's nowhere [Dm]left to turn
[G]Walls keep breakin'
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's [Dm]time well spent, or [G]time I've wasted

[Interlude 1]
Don't waste it
[C][Am][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
A[C]fraid of what the truth might bring
He [Am]locks his doors and never leaves
[Em]Desperately searching for signs
Too [G]terrified to find a thing
He [C]battens all the hatches down
And [Am]won ders why he hears no sounds
[Em]Frantically searching his dreams
He [G]wonders what it's all

[Pre-chorus 2]
(a[C]bout)
[Am]Do-do-do-do, do
[Em]Do-do-do-do, do
It's [G]safe to say that

[Chorus 2]
[C]I don't think you unders[Em]tand
There's nowhere [Dm]left to turn
[G]Walls keep breakin'
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's [Dm]time well spent, or [G]time I've wasted

[Solo 1]
[C][Em][C][F][G]
[C][Em][C][F][G]
[Em][F][Em][G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Here in my mind, losin' my friends
[Em]Fall on my face, do it again
You [Dm]say, "How do you [G]do?"
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout [C]you?
To be free, to be [Em]sold
To be killed, to be [Dm]safe
In my head, I'm a[G]lone
I'm not dead, I'm a[C]shamed
Just like you, I've been [Em]trying to escape
In my [Dm]bones, I feel cold
I give [G]thanks to the Lord
Indus[C]try, in the street, let me [Em]go, let me be
I don't [Dm]need to be here
I'm a[G]lone can't you see? Can't you see?

[Chorus 3]
[C]I don't think you unders[Em]tand
There's nowhere [Dm]left to turn
[G]Walls keep breakin'
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's [Dm]time well spent, or [G]time I've wasted
Don't waste it
