Tom: C
Intro: C Am Em G (2x)
In a [C]far and distant galaxy
Insid[Am]e my telescope I see
A[Em] pair of eyes look back at me
He w[G]alks and talks and looks like me
[C]Sits around inside his house
[Am]
[Em]Fills his life with pointless things
and[G] wonders how it all turns[C] out.
[Am]do do do do do
[Em]do do do do do
[G]Safe to say that
[C]I don't think you underst[Em]and!
There's nowhere[Dm] left to turn
[G]Walls keep breaking
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's t[Dm]ime worth spent
or [G]time I've wasted.
Don't waste it.
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
Af[C]raid of what the truth might bring
He lo[Am]cks his doors and never leaves
Des[Em]perately searching for signs
to t[G]errify, to find a thing
He[C] battens all the hatches down
and [Am]wonders why he hears no sound
F[Em]rantically searching his dreams
he w[G]onders what it's all [C]about
[Am]do do do do do
[Em]do do do do do
[G]Safe to say that
[C]I don't think you underst[Em]and!
There's nowhere[Dm] left to turn
[G]Walls keep breaking
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's t[Dm]ime worth spent
or [G]time I've wasted.
Solo: C Bm C F C
[(Bm] [C] [D] [Em] [F)]
[(Em] [G] [F] [E] [G)]
[C]Clearing my mind,
losing my friends
[Em]Follow my fears
do it again.
You say [Dm]how, do, you do.
[G]Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
[C]To be free
To be son
[Em]To be killed
To be saved
[Dm]In my head, I'm alone
[G]I'm un-dead, I'm ashamed
[C]Just like you, I've been tryin'
To be [Em]scared
In my bones, I feel [Dm]cold.
I give this to the [G]lord in the sea
In this [C]street
Let me [Em]go
Let me be, I don't[Dm] need
To be here, I'm alone
Can't you [G]see? Can't you see?
[C]I don't think you underst[Em]and!
There's nowhere[Dm] left to turn
[G]Walls keep breaking
[C]Time is like a leaf in the [Em]wind
Either it's t[Dm]ime worth spent
or [G]time I've wasted.
Don't waste it.
