version of this song can be found on the Til Tuesday album Everything's
Different Now. Elvis co-wrote this one with Aimee Mann but changed the
lyrics and (in my opinion) made the song better for this version.
This song is (c) 1996 Warner Bros Records. I'm sure Elvis has some
publishing rights as does Aimee Mann...

Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir

        CC Piano Chord 
       BbBb Piano Chord 

They interrupted my evil desires

           FF Piano Chord 

One day you're up in the clouds

There there baby your vision is blurred
DmDm Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
        BbBb Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 

Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
DmDm Piano Chord 

I don't want to hurt you now
CC Piano Chord 

But I think you're shrinking

Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call
FF Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
            BbBb Piano Chord 

I never noticed you could be so small
CC Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 

The answer was under your nose
BbBb Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 
      FF Piano Chord 

But the question never arose

Chorus:	I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope
CC Piano Chord 
            DmDm Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 

With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin
CC Piano Chord 
              DmDm Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 

And the cast iron heart that you failed to tear open
DmDm Piano Chord 

At the other end
BbBb Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 
   BbBb Piano Chord 

At the other end of the telescope
