Opening txt data files from url in Python

I'm trying to open some data from a URL but it gives me problems and errors I don't know how to deal with. My goal is to get two arrays of data, one for time input and another for some kind of variable. This is what I've tried:

url = "https://github.com/giulio99/Relazione-FFT/blob/master/dati%20giulio/datilunghiquad_b.txt"
df = pd.read_csv(url, sep="\t")

df.columns =['time', 'voltage']

t1 = list(df.time)

V1 = list(df.voltage)

The error that I get is

pandas.errors.ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 1 fields in line 823, saw 2

Can someone help me?

you are downloading the wrong file! you want the raw file, not the html page.
notice the raw button on that page, it will gives you the address:
