Aimee Mann - THE OTHER END(OF THE TELESCOPE) 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 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
