*** 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
