From: Bob Kaphan
Subject: TAB:the_other_end_of_the_telescope by elvis_costello
>From the wonderful Elvis disk All This Useless Beauty. A previous
version of this song can be found on the Til Tuesday album Everything's
Different Now. Elvis co-wrote this one with Aimee Mann but changed the
lyrics and (in my opinion) made the song better for this version.
This song is (c) 1996 Warner Bros Records. I'm sure Elvis has some
publishing rights as does Aimee Mann...
The Other End of the Telescope
------------------------------
(Costello/Mann)
Bb F C F Dm C
Verse Shall we agree that just this once I'm gonna change my life
1: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Until it's just as tiny or important as you like
Bb F C Bb
And in time we won't even recall that we spoke
F C Bb
Words that turned out to be as big as smoke
C F
As smoke disappears in the air
Bb C F
There's always something smoldering somewhere
C Bb F
Chorus: I know it don't make a difference to you
C Bb F
But oh it sure made a difference to me
C Dm F
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
Dm
At the other end
Bb C Bb
At the other end of the telescope
(Bb) F C F Dm C
Verse The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice
2: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close
Bb F C Bb
Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir
F C Bb
They interrupted my evil desires
C F
One day you're up in the clouds
Bb C F
The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines
(chorus)
C Bb F
Bridge: Lie down baby now don't say a word
C Bb F
There there baby your vision is blurred
Dm C Bb F
Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
Dm
I don't want to hurt you now
C
But I think you're shrinking
Bb F C F Dm C
Verse You're half naked ambition and you're half out of your wits
3: Bb F C F Dm Eb
Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits
Bb F C Bb
Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call
F C Bb
I never noticed you could be so small
C F
The answer was under your nose
Bb C F
But the question never arose
C Bb F
Chorus: I know it don't make a difference to you
C Bb F
But oh it sure made a difference to me
C Dm F
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
C Dm F
With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin
C Dm F
And the cast iron heart that you failed to tear open
Dm
At the other end
Bb C Bb
At the other end of the telescope
