Telescope - Cage The Elephant
|: C - Am - Em - G :|
1.
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
GC
And wonders how it all turns out.

AmEm
Do do do do Am do, Do do do do Em do
G
It's safe to say that
ref.
CEm
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking
CEm
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.

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
GC
He wonders what it's all about

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