Verse 1
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
And wonders how it all turns

Verse 2
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
He wonders what it's all

C
Here in my mind, losin' my friends
Em
Fall on my face, do it again
Dm
G
You say, "How do you do?"
C
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
Em
To be free, to be sold
Dm
To be killed, to be safe
G
In my head, I'm alone
C
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
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
Em
Industry, in the street, let me go, let me be
Dm
I don't need to be here
G
I'm alone can't you see? Can't you see?
