Distantly In Love Jimmy Buffett
[D]Payphones all were [G]ringing as the [A]crowd went roarin' [D]by
[D]Lovely dancers [G]swayin' to an [A]island lulla[D]by
Be[D]side the southern [G]ocean taking [A]stock of what's to [D]be
[D]Writing you this [G]letter that you'll [A7]probably never [D]see
Chorus:
But [G]I [D]can't [A]help but be
[G]Ruled by [D]incon[A]sistencies
[G]Not unique just [A]distantly in [D]love
Tried to phone from Paris thinking things could be arranged
Me and you would rendezvous but I found your number changed
So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells
Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf
Chorus:
But I can't help but be
Ruled by my antiquities
Not unique just distantly in love
[F#m]I can't be the [G]one to fill
Your [F#m]times and all your [G]places
[F#m]I can't be the [G]one to fill
Your [E]blanks and empty [A]spaces
I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay
You had a new lover who had stolen you away
That could be the reason that I never got in touch
May present slight problems if he loves you half as much
Chorus:
As I who can't help but be
Ruled by my antiquities
Not unique just distantly in love
You know I can't help but be
Part of my own philosophies
Not unique just distantly in love
