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



                                                       G
