The Other End Of The Telescope Tab

by Til Tuesday



Here's Til Tuesday's "The Other End of the Telescope" written by
Amiee Mann and Elvis Costello.  Capo at the 3rd fret.  All the
chords are basic ones, so no need for a chart - sometimes though,
they add the high G on the E string to the C chord -->  x32013
instead of x32010.  Also, the C/G is 3x2013.

Intro 
                           
Shall we agree that just this once

                  
I'm gonna change my life

                                     
Until its just as tiny or important as you like

                                       
And in time, we won't even recall that we spoke

                                 
Words that turned out to as big as smoke

                          
Like smoke disappears in the air

                                
There's always something smoldering somewhere


*chorus*
                                   
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

*same as first verse except leave out F - stay on Em in the second
line*

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

*same as other chorus*
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

*bridge*

                               
There there baby now don't say a word

                               
Lie down baby your vision is blurred

                                
your head is sore from all of that thinking

  
I don't want to hurt you now

                 
But I think you're sinking

   
(I think you're sinking)

*same as first verse except where noted*
Your half-naked ambition and your half out of your mind
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
                      
But the question never arose

                                   
I know it don't make a difference to you

                                   
But Oh it sure made a difference to me

                                   
When you find me here at the end of my rope

                                   
When the head and heart of it finally elope

                                         
You can see us off in the distance I hope

             
At the other end


                                      
At the other end of the telescope
