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 its 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
