[Fm] [C]
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
I'm looking at the world tonight through a blue telescope.
I wish I may, wish I [F] might not see what I see.
She'd be metal and she'd survive.
[C]
[G] Looking through this blue telescope down a moon [C]-struck road tonight.
[F] Blue [C] breath on my windsheet, I came to a frozen place.
She shivered when I said goodbye.
I wish I didn't have to [F] face her in that real new mirror.
I know she lives in the [C] heart of me.
[G] Looking through this blue telescope, I guess she'll always [F] be a [C] star to me.
[Am] [Em] The [F] head's [C] fast and wide, [Am]
way [Em] too [F] escort [G] the bride.
[Am] She [Em] [Am] lifts [F] her wedding [C] veil, [Am] [Em] her breath [F] a lonesome [Dm] paper [G]
trail.
[F] [C]
[F]
[C]
[G]
[C] I got this blue telescope, I'm looking for her tonight.
Through a blue telescope, tell me why must the blue angels [F] fight?
Taking one last shot at heaven while they slipstream to [C] paradise.
[G] Looking through this blue telescope down a moon [C]-struck road tonight.
I'm looking [G] through this blue telescope down a moon-struck [C] road tonight.
I got a blue telescope.
Blue telescope.
