Other end of the telescope Til Tuesday
---------------------------------------
Shall [E]we agr[B]ee that [G#m]just this [A]once, I'm gonna [C#m]change my [B]life
Until it's just as tiny or important as you like
and in [A]time, you won't [C#m]even re[B]call that we [A]spoke
words that turn out to be as thick as smoke
[A] like smoke[F#m] disappears on the [E]air,
[A] there's always something [G#m]smouldering th[E]ere
(Chorus):
I k[B]now it don't make a [A]difference to [E]you
but oh, it sure made a difference to me
you'll [C#m]see me [B]off in the dist[A]ance I [E]hope
[F#m] [A] [B] [A] [G#m] [F#m] [E] [A] [G#m] [F#m] [E]at the other end, at the other end of the telescope
There [E]was a t[B]ime not l[G#m]ong [A]ago, I dreamt the [C#m]world was [B]flat
and all the colours bled away and that was th-------at
and in t[A]ime, I could [C#m]only bel[B]ieve in one th[A]ing
the sky was just phosphorous, stars all on strings
[A] and you swore that they'd [F#m]always be [E]mine
[A]well you can't pull them [F#m]down any t[E]ime
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
[B]There there baby now [A]don't say a[E] word
lie down baby your vision is blurred
your [C#m]head is so [B]sore, from [A]all of that [E]thinking
I [C#m]don't want to hurt you [A]now, but [C#m]I think you're shri[F#m]nking E
I think you're shrinking
You're h[E]alf n[B]aked amb[G#m]ition [A] and half out[C#m] of your [B]wits
and though your wristwatch always works your necktie never fits
now its so [A]hard to lift the re[C#m]ceiver up a[B]nd when I c[A]all
I never noticed you could be so small
the answer was [F#m]under your [E]nose,
but the qu[A]estion [B]never ar[E]ose
(Chorus)
you'll [C#m]find me [B]here at the [A]end of my [E]rope
when the head and the heart of it finally elope
you'll see us off in the distance I hope
at the other [F#m]end, at the other [A]end o[B]f the tele[A]scop[G#m]e[F#m] [E]
(outro):
|| A G#m F#m E :|| a few times

[577655]799877 [-]- [A]B
X46654 - C#m
[466444] [-] [G#m] [244222] [-] [F#m] Possible alternative to the 3rd line of the bridge is :
your [B]mind is so so[A]re, from [A]all of that th[C#m]inking
. . . but I think the first one sounds
closest.
Transposed to Eb: The album's in Eb, which either means putting a capo at 11th
fret (yuk), or playing it with a capo at the first fret and substituting the
chord shapes written above as follows:
Chord in E SHAPE in Eb
(above) (capo @ 1)
[E] [D] [F#m] [Em] [G#m] [F#m] [A] [G] [B] [A] [C#m] [Bm] . . . but I prefer to play it in 'E'! If nothing else, it's fun to run down A
G#m F#m E (5th, 4th, 2nd, 0th frets) at the end of the chorus. Any
improvements welcome.
