MI SI SOL#m LA DO#m SI
Shall we agree that just this once, I'm gonna change my life
Until it's just as tiny or important as you like
LA DO#m SI LA
and in time, you won't even recall that we spoke
words that turn out to be as thick as smoke
LA FA#m MI
like smoke disappears on the air,
LA SOL#m MI
there's always something smouldering there
Chorus
SI LA MI
I know it don't make a difference to you
but oh, it sure made a difference to me
DO#m SI LA MI
you'll see me off in the distance I hope
FA#m LA SI LA SOL#m FA#m MI LA SOL#m FA#m MI
at the other end, at the other end of the telescope
MI SI SOL#m LA DO#m SI
There was a time not long ago, I dreamt the world was flat
and all the colours bled away and that was th-------at
LA DO#m SI LA
and in time, I could only believe in one thing
the sky was just phosphorous, stars all on strings
LA FA#m MI
and you swore that they'd always be mine
LA FA#m MI
well you can't pull them down any time
Chorus
[Bridge]:
SI LA MI
There there baby now don't say a word
lie down baby your vision is blurred
DO#m SI LA MI
your head is so sore, from all of that thinking
DO#m LA DO#m FA#m
I don't want to hurt you now, but I think you're shrinking E
I think you're shrinking
MI SI SOL#m LA DO#m SI
You're half naked ambition and half out of your wits
and though your wristwatch always works your necktie never fits
LA DO#m SI LA
now its so hard to lift the receiver up and when I call
I never noticed you could be so small
FA#m MI
the answer was under your nose,
LA SI MI
but the question never arose
Chorus
DO#m SI LA MI
you'll find me here at the end of my rope
when the head and the heart of it finally elope
you'll see us off in the distance I hope
FA#m LA SI LA SOL#m FA#m MI
at the other end, at the other end of the telescope
[outro]:
|| A G#m F#m E :|| a few times

Possible alternative to the 3rd line of the bridge is :
SI LA LA DO#m
your mind is so sore, from all of that thinking
. . . 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)
MI RE
FA#m MIm
SOL#m FA#m
LA SOL
SI LA
DO#m SIm
. . . 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.
