                Elvis' original take on the song during the 'Spike' tour
****************************************************************************
[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

D                       C            G
I know it don't make a difference to you
D                        C           G
But oh it sure made a difference to me
G              D         C            G
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
              Am
At the other end
              C      D   C           G
At the other end of the telescope

[Verse]
       C       G      D    G       Em                D
There was a time not long ago I dreamt the world was flat
       C       G      D    G       Em        F
And all the colours bled away, and that was that.
        C             G       D            C
And in time, I could only believe in one thing.
                       G         D           C
The world was just phosphorous stars hung on string
          C           D          G
And you swore, they'd always be mine
           C             D        G
When you can pull them down any time.


[Chorus]
D                       C            G
I know it don't make a difference to you
D                        C           G
But oh it sure made a difference to me
G              D         C            G
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
              Am
At the other end
              C      D   C           G
At the other end of the telescope

[Bridge]
D                  C          G
There now, baby don't say a word
D                    C         G
Lie down baby your vision is blurred
Em         D        C            G
Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
Em
I don't want to hurt you now
C
But I think you're shrinking


[Verse]
        C     G     D       G          Em               D
You're half naked ambition and you're half out of your wits
        C         G        D       G          Em            F
And though your wristwatch always works, your necktie never fits.
             C                 G          D     C
Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call
          G           D            C
I never noticed you could be so small
            D           G
The answer was under your nose
       C      D      G
But the question never arose

[Chorus]

D                   C            G
I know it don't make a difference to you
  D                  C           G
But oh it sure made a difference to me
               D           C        G
You'll see me off in the distance I hope
          D                C        G
When the head and the heart of it finally elope
          D                 C         G
You'll find me here at the end of my rope.
         Am
At the other end
     C             D      C
At the other end of the telescope
