[Verse]
In a Cfar and distant galaxy
InsidAme my telescope I see
AEm pair of eyes look back at me
He wGalks and talks and looks like me
CSits around inside his house
From Amroom to room he moves about
EmFills his life with pointless things
andG wonders how it all turnsC out
Amdo do do do do
Emdo do do do do
GSafe to say that
[Chorus]
CI don't think you understEmand
There's nowhereDm left to turn
GWalls keep breaking
CTime is like a leaf in the Emwind
Either it's tDmime worth spent
or Gtime I've wasted
Don't waste it
[Instrumental]
C Am Em G
[Verse]
AfCraid of what the truth might bring
He loAmcks his doors and never leaves
DesEmperately searching for signs
to tGerrify to find a thing
HeC battens all the hatches down
and Amwonders why he hears no sound
FEmrantically searching his dreams
he wGonders what it's all Cabout
Amdo do do do do
Emdo do do do do
GSafe to say that
[Chorus]
CI don't think you understEmand
There's nowhereDm left to turn
GWalls keep breaking
CTime is like a leaf in the Emwind
Either it's tDmime worth spent
or Gtime I've wasted

[Bridge]
CClearing my mind
losing my friends
EmFollow my fears
do it again
You say Dmhow do you do
GMan how 'bout you
Man how 'bout you
CTo be free
To be son
EmTo be killed
To be saved
DmIn my head I'm alone
GI'm un-dead I'm ashamed
CJust like you I've been tryin'
To be Emscared
In my bones I feel cDmold
I give this to the Glord in the sea
In this Cstreet
Let me Emgo
Let me be I don't Dmneed
To be here I'm alone
Can't you Gsee Can't you see
[Chorus]
CI don't think you understEmand
There's nowhereDm left to turn
GWalls keep breaking
CTime is like a leaf in the Emwind
Either it's tDmime worth spent
or Gtime I've wasted
Don't waste it
