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

Pre-chorus 1
(C major) (out) Do-do-do-do, (A minor) do
Do-do-do-do, (E minor) do
It's (G major) safe to say that
Chorus 1
(C major) I don't think you understand (E minor)
There's nowhere left (D minor) to turn
Walls (G major) keep breakin'
(C major) Time is like a leaf in the wind (E minor)
Either it's time (D minor) well spent, or time (G major) I've wasted
Interlude 1
Don't waste it
(C major) (A minor) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 2
A (C major) fraid of what the truth might bring
He locks (A minor) his doors and never leaves
(E minor) Desperately searching for signs
Too (G major) terrified to find a thing
He (C major) battens all the hatches down
And won (A minor) ders why he hears no sounds
(E minor) Frantically searching his dreams
He (G major) wonders what it's all
Pre-chorus 2
(about) (C major)
Do-do-do-do, (A minor) do
Do-do-do-do, (E minor) do
It's (G major) safe to say that
Chorus 2
(C major) I don't think you understand (E minor)
There's nowhere left (D minor) to turn
Walls (G major) keep breakin'
(C major) Time is like a leaf in the wind (E minor)
Either it's time (D minor) well spent, or time (G major) I've wasted

Bridge 1
(C major) Here in my mind, losin' my friends
(E minor) Fall on my face, do it again
You (D minor) say, "How do you do?" (G major)
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you? (C major)
To be free, to be sold (E minor)
To be killed, to be safe (D minor)
In my head, I'm alone (G major)
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed (C major)
Just like you, I've been trying (E minor) to escape
In my bones, (D minor) I feel cold
I give thanks (G major) to the Lord
Industry, (C major) in the street, let me go, (E minor) let me be
I don't need (D minor) to be here
I'm alone (G major) can't you see? Can't you see?
Chorus 3
(C major) I don't think you understand (E minor)
There's nowhere left (D minor) to turn
Walls (G major) keep breakin'
(C major) Time is like a leaf in the wind (E minor)
Either it's time (D minor) well spent, or time (G major) I've wasted
Don't waste it
