Cage The Elephant - Telescope: chords

      C
In a far and distant galaxy
  Am
Inside my telescope I see
   Em
A 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
Do do do do do
            Em
Do do do do do
      G
It's safe to say that

Chorus:
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 well spent
    G
Or time I've wasted, don't waste it.

Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sounds
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about

Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
It's safe to say that

Chorus:
I don't think you understand
There's nowhere left to turn,
the walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted

C
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Em
Fall on my face 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 sold
Em
To be killed, to be saved
Dm
In my head, I'm alone
G
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
C
Just like you, I've been tryin'
Em
To escape, in my bones
Dm
I feel cold, I give thanks
G
To the lord, industry
C
In this street, let me go
Em
Let me be, I don't need
Dm
To be here, I'm alone
G
Can't you see? Can't you see?

Chorus:
I don't think you understand
There's nowhere left to turn,
these walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
