Capo 3
C G D G
Shall we agree that just this once
Em D
I'm gonna change my life
C G D G Em F
Until its just as tiny or important as you like
C G D C
And in time, we won't even recall that we spoke
G D C
Words that turned out to as big as smoke
Em D G
Like smoke disappears in the air
C Em D G
There's always something smoldering somewhere
D C G
I know it don't make a difference to you
D C G
But Oh it sure made a difference to me
Em D C G
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
Am
At the other end
C D C/g. G
At the other end of the telescope
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
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
D C G
There there baby now don't say a word
D C G
Lie down baby your vision is blurred
Em D C G
your head is sore from all of that thinking
Em
I don't want to hurt you now
Am C
But I think you're sinking
Am
(I think you're sinking)
Your half-naked ambition and your half out of your wits
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
C D G
But the question never arose
D C G
I know it don't make a difference to you
D C G
But Oh it sure made a difference to me
Em D C G
When you find me here at the end of my rope
Em D C G
When the head and heart of it finally elope
Em D C G Em D
You can see us off in the distance I hope
Am
At the other end
C D C/g G C G
At the other end of the telescope
