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 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 [outro]: || A G#m F#m E :|| A few times last time : A G#m F#m G#m E 4 4 2 1 1
