Lyrics:

Capo 3: Eb maps as C

C2 | C2

*** Verse 1:
C2 G D G
Shall we agree that just this once
Em D
I'm gonna change my life
C2 G D G
Until it's just as tiny or
Em F
Important as you like
C2 G D C2
And in time, we won't even recall that we spoke
G D C2
Words that turned out to be as big as smoke
Em D G
Like smoke, disappears in the air
C2 Em D G
There's always something smouldering somewhere


*** Chorus:
D C2 G
I know it don't make a difference to you
D C2 G
But oh, it sure made a difference to me
Em D C2 G
You'll see me off in the distance, I hope
Am
At the other end
C D C2
At the other end of the telescope


*** Verse 2:
There was a time not long ago C2 G D G
I dreamt that the world was flat Em D
And all the colours bled away C2 G D G
And that was that Em Em (note!)
And in time, I could only believe in one thing C2 G D C2
The sky was just phosphourus stars hung on strings G D C2
And you swore that they'd always be mine Em D G
When you can pull them down anytime Em D G

*** Chorus:
I know it don't make a difference to you D C2 G
But oh, it sure made a difference to me D C2 G
You'll see me off in the distance, I hope Em D C2
At the other end Am
At the other end of the telescope C D C2

*** Bridge:
D C2 G
There, there baby now, don't say a word
D C2 G
Lie down baby, your vision is blurred
Em D C2
Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
Em
I don't want to hurt you now
C Am C Am
But I think you're shrinking (I think you're skrinking)


*** Verse 3:
You're half-naked ambition and C2 G D G
You're half out of your wits Em D
And though your wristwatch always works C2 G D G
Your necktie never fits Em F
Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up C2 G D
And when I call, I never noticed you could be so small C2 G D
The answer was under your nose Em D G
But the question never arose Em D G

*** Coda:
I know it don't make a difference to you D C2 G
But oh, it sure made a difference to me D C2 G
When you find me here at the end of my rope Em D C2
When the head and heart of it finally elope Em D C2
You can see us off in the distance, I hope Em D C2
At the other end Am
At the other end of the telescope C D C2
