(Costello/Mann)

        Bb        F          C   
Verse   Shall we agree that just 
      F        Dm              C
this once I'm gonna change my life
  1:       Bb       F       C   F
        Until it's just as tiny 
     Dm             Eb
or important as you like
                Bb           F    
        And in time we won't even 
   C            Bb
recall that we spoke
                          F        
        Words that turned out to be
 C           Bb
 as big as smoke
                       C           
        As smoke disappears in the 
F
air
                Bb              
        There's always something 
   C              F
smoldering somewhere

            C                 
Chorus: I know it don't make a 
  Bb            F
difference to you
            C                
        But oh it sure made a 
  Bb           F
difference to me
                      C         
        You'll see me off in the 
  Dm         F
distance I hope
                 Dm
        At the other end
                 Bb      C   Bb
        At the other end of the 
telescope

        (Bb)        F     C       
Verse   The promise of indulgence 
F      Dm           C
in my confidential voice
  2:        Bb        F      C    
        Approached immortal danger
  F          Dm              Eb
 but you'll never know how close
                       Bb   
        Then down the hall I 
      F            C         Bb
overheard such a heavenly choir
                   F        C  
        They interrupted my evil 
     Bb
desires
                       C        
        One day you're up in the 
   F
clouds
             Bb                    
        The next thing you're down 
           C       F
with the Sweet Adelines

                        (chorus)

        C                  Bb     
Bridge: Lie down baby now don't 
     F
say a word
          C                    Bb 
        There there baby your 
        F
vision is blurred
              Dm         C        
        Your head is so sore from 
Bb            F
all of that thinking
           Dm
        I don't want to hurt you now
                              C
        But I think you're shrinking

                Bb     F     C    
Verse   You're half naked ambition
 F          Dm               C
 and you're half out of your wits
  3:        Bb      F     C       
        Or several tiny fractions 
  F        Dm              Eb
that this portrait still omits
                     Bb            
        Now it's so hard to pick 
     F          C     Bb
the receiver up when I call
                 F           C    
        I never noticed you could 
        Bb
be so small
                       C         
        The answer was under your 
  F
nose
                  Bb      C      F
        But the question never arose

            C                 
Chorus: I know it don't make a 
  Bb            F
difference to you
            C                
        But oh it sure made a 
  Bb           F
difference to me
                      C         
        You'll see me off in the 
  Dm         F
distance I hope
                       C         
        With a bamboo needle on a 
   Dm         F
shellac of Chopin
                           C       
        And the cast iron heart 
       Dm            F
that you failed to tear open
                 Dm
        At the other end
                 Bb      C   Bb
        At the other end of the 
telescope
