The Other End 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 it’s 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
