The Other End Of The Telescope

Here's Til Tuesday's "The Other End of the Telescope" written by

Amiee Mann and Elvis Costello. Capo at the 3rd fret. All the

chords are basic ones, so no need for a chart - sometimes though,

they add the high G on the E string to the C chord --> x32013

instead of x32010. Also, the C/G is 3x2013.

 

Shall we agree that just this once

I'm gonna change my life

Until its just as tiny or important as you like

And in time, we won't even recall that we spoke

Words that turned out to as big as smoke

Like smoke disappears in the air

There's always something smoldering somewhere

*chorus*

I know it don't make a difference to you

But Oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope

*same as first verse except leave out F - stay on Em in the second

line*

There was a time not long ago I dreamt the world was flat

All the colors bled away and that was that

And in time, I could only believe in one thing

The sky was just phorphorus stars hung on a string

And you swore that they'd always be mine

When you can pull them down anytime

*same as other chorus*

I know it don't make a difference to you

But Oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope

*bridge*

There there baby now don't say a word

Lie down baby your vision is blurred

your head is sore from all of that thinking

I don't want to hurt you now

But I think you're sinking

(I think you're sinking)

*same as first verse except where noted*

Your half-naked ambition and your half out of your mind

And though your wristwatch always works

Your necktie never fits

Now its so hard to pick the reciever up and when I call

I never noticed you could be so small

The answer was under your nose

But the question never arose

I know it don't make a difference to you

But Oh it sure made a difference to me

When you find me here at the end of my rope

When the head and heart of it finally elope

You can see us off in the distance I hope

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope
