Tom : C
Intro: C Am Em G (2x)
C
In a far and distant galaxy
Am
Inside my telescope I see
Em
A pair of eyes look 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
do do do do do
Em
do do do do do
G
Safe to say that
[Refrão]
C Em
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
C Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Dm
Either it's time worth spent
G
or time I've wasted.
[Próxima Parte]
Don't waste it.
C Am Em G C
Afraid of what the truth might bring
Am
He locks his doors and never leaves
Em
Desperately searching for signs
G
to terrify, to find a thing
C
He battens all the hatches down
Am
and wonders why he hears no sound
Em
Frantically searching his dreams
G C
he wonders what it's all about
Am
do do do do do
Em
do do do do do
G
Safe to say that
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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.
Dm
You say 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 Em
Just like you, I've been tryin'
To be scared
Dm
In my bones, I feel cold.
G
I give this to the lord in the sea
C
In this street
Em
Let me go
Dm
Let me be, I don't need
G
To be here, I'm alone
G
Can't you see? Can't you see?
[Refrão] (repetir)
Don't waste it.
