[Verse]
             C             
In a far and distant galaxy
          Am             
Inside my telescope I see
        Em                  
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
Dodododo do
Am         
Dodododo do
Em        G          
It's safe to say that


[Chorus]
        C                   
I don't think you understand
Em                   Dm     
There's nowhere left to turn
               G        G7
The walls keep breakin' ■ 
        G                      
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Em               Dm        
Either it's time well spent
        G    G7    
Or time I've wasted
G7            
Don't waste it
C Am Em G

[Verse]
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         
Dodododo do
         Em
Dodododo do


[Chorus]
G                    
It's safe to say that
C                           
I don't think you understand
Em              Dm          
There's nowhere left to turn
    G                  
The walls keep breakin'
C                          Em  
Time is like a leaf in the wind
            Dm             
Either it's time well spent
   G               
Or time I've wasted

[Chorus]
C                                
Here in my mind losin' my friends
Em         Em7             
Fall on my face do it again
Dm7                  
You say How do you do
G                               C  
Man how 'bout you Man how 'bout you
                 C   
To be free to be sold
Em                 Dm  
To be killed to be safe
               G    
In my head I'm alone
                 G      
I'm not dead I'm ashamed
C                       Em              
Just like you I've been trying to escape
      Dm               
In my bones I feel cold
       G                 
I give thanks to the Lord
C                     
Industry in the street
       Em          
Let me go let me be
             Dm        
I don't need to be here
          G                       C  
I'm alone can't you see Can't you see
        C                   
I don't think you understand
Em                      Dm  
There's nowhere left to turn
      G                  
These walls keep breakin'
C                          Em  
Time is like a leaf in the wind
            Dm             
Either it's time well spent
   G               
Or time I've wasted


[End]
      G       
Don't waste it
