The Other End
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
