	D	G	A	D
	Payphones all were	ringing as the	crowd went roaring	by,

	D	G	A	D
	Lovely dancers	swayin' to an	island lulla	by

	D	G	A	D
	Beside the southern	ocean, taking	stock of what's to	be

	D	G	A	D
	Writing you this	letter that you'll	prob'ly never	see

CHORUS 1:

	G	G/F#m	A	G	G/F#m	A
But	I	can't	help but be	ruled by	incon	sistancies,

	G	G/F#m	A	D
	not	unique just	distantly in	love.

	D	G	A	D
	Tried to phone from	Paris, thinking	things could be ar	ranged

	D	G	A	D
	Me and you would	rendevous, but I	found your number	changed

	D	G	A	D
So	I drove to San	Ramos where the	crazy painter	dwells

	D	G	A	D
	Toasted our old	photographs still	up there on his	shelves

CHORUS 2:

	G	G/F#m	A	G	G/F#m	A
But	I	can't	help but be	ruled by	my an	tiquities,

	not	unique just	distantly in	love.

BRIDGE:

	F#m	G	F#m	G
	I can't be the	one to fill your	times and all your	places

	F#m	G	E	A
	I can't be the	one to fill your	blanks and empty	spaces

	D	G	A	D
I	heard it from a	friend of ours I	saw in Timber	Bay

	D	G	A	D
	You had a new	lover who had	stolen you	away

	D	G	A	D
	That could be the	reason that I	never got in	touch

	D	G	A	D
It	may presents slight	problems if he	loves you half as	much

CHORUS 3:

	G	G/F#m	A	G	G/F#m	A
Because its	I	who can't	help but be	ruled by	my an	tiquities,

	G	G/F#m	A	D
	not	unique just	distantly in	love.

	G	G/F#m	A	G	A
You know	I	can't	help but be	part of my own	philosophies,

	G	G/F#m	A	D
	not	unique just	distantly in	love.

I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to

send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did

it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes

tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy!
