Distantly In Love Jimmy Buffett
Jimmy Buffett
[D]Payphones all were r[G]inging as t[A]he crowd went roaring [D]by,
[D]Lovely dancers [G]swayin' to an [A] island lulla [D]by
[D]Beside the southern o[G]cean, taki[A]ng stock of what's to [D]be
[D]Writing you this le[G]tter that you'll [A]prob'ly never[D] see
CHORUS 1:
[G]But I c[F#m]an't [A]help but be ru[G]led by[F#m] incon[A]sistencies,
[G]not [F#m]unique just di[A]stantly in[D] love.
[D]Tried to phone from P[G]aris, thinkin[A]g things could be a[D]rranged
[D]Me and you would re[G]ndezvous, but I f[A]ound your number cha[D]nged
S[D]o I drove to San [G]Ramos where th[A]e crazy painter [D]dwells
[D]Toasted our old p[G]hotographs sti[A]ll up there on his s[D]helves
CHORUS 2:
[G]But I [F#m]can't [A]help but[G] be [F#m]ruled by[A] my antiquities,
[G]not [F#m]unique j[A]ust [D]distantly in love.

BRIDGE:
[F#m]I can't be the [G] one to fill your[F#m] times and all your pla[G]ces
[F#m]I can't be the [G] one to fill your [E]blanks and empty s[A]paces
[D]I heard it from a frien[G]d of ours [A]I saw in Timber B[D]ay
[D]You had a new [G]lover who had [A] stolen you [D]away
[D]That could be the [G]reason that I [A] never got in to[D]uch
It [D]may pres[G]ents sli[A]ght [D]problems if he loves you half as much
CHORUS 3:
Because [G]I can'[F#m]t help but be rul[A]ed by my a[F#m]ntiquit[A]ies,
[G]not [F#m]unique just [A]distantly in [D]love.
[G]You know [F#m]I [A]can't [G]help but be par[F#m]t of my own p[A]hilosophies,
[G]not [F#m]unique j[A]ust [D]distantly in love.
