Other End of the Telescope (Til Tuesday)
---------------------------------------


This is on Til Tuesday's 3rd album, 'Everything's Different Now'. Written by
Aimee Mann and Declan McManus/Elvis Costello, Aimee still plays this in her
live set. The below is written as though played in E (at the nut). On the
album, it's in Eb (Eb transposition at the bottom of the page).



        E       B         G#m          A                      C#m         B
Shall   we   agree  that  just  this   once,    I'm   gonna   change  my  life
    Until it's just   as  tiny         or       important      as   you   like

           A                     C#m       B                  A 
and   in   time,   you   won't   even    recall   that   we   spoke
           words   that  turn    out to be as thick    as    smoke 

A                        F#m                E    
               like smoke disappears on the air,
A                         G#m              E 
 there's always something smouldering    there




[Chorus]:
   B                   A             E
I know it don't make a difference to you
but oh, it sure made a difference to me 
       C#m    B              A      E 
you'll see me off in the distance I 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




      E       B          G#m  A                       C#m       B
There was a  time  not  long  ago,  I  dreamt   the   world was flat
 and all the colours    bled  away        and that was th-------at
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/til_tuesday/other_end_of_the_telescope_crd.html ]
        A                 C#m       B                A 
and in time,  I   could   only   believe  in  one  thing
   the sky was just    phosphorous, stars  all  on strings 

A                          F#m       E                   
 and you swore that they'd always be mine
A                        F#m       E                   
well you can't pull them down any time



[Chorus]



[Bridge]:
B                      A          E
There there  baby now  don't say a word
lie  down  baby  your vision is blurred
     C#m        B          A           E 
your head is so sore, from all of that thinking
  C#m                    A        C#m                F#m
I don't want to hurt you now, but I think you're shrinking    E
                                  I think you're shrinking 



        E          B              G#m   A                  C#m      B
You're half       naked        ambition      and  half  out of your wits
and   though your wristwatch    always works  your necktie never   fits

              A                      C#m          B             A 
now  its  so  hard  to  lift  the  receiver  up  and  when  I  call
                         I  never  noticed  you  could  be  so  small

                  F#m          E                   
the  answer  was  under  your  nose, 
             A       B        E
 but  the  question  never  arose



[Chorus]


         C#m          B                  A             E
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 
             F#m               A        B            A   G#m  F#m  E     
at the other end, at the other end     of    the telescope
