Distantly In Love

D G A D Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by D G A D Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby D G A D Beside the southern ocean taking stock of what's to be D G A7 D Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see G D A But I can't help but be G D A Ruled by inconsistencies G A D Not unique just distantly in 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 But I can't help but be Ruled by my antiquities Not unique just distantly in love F#m G I can't be the one to fill F#m G Your times and all your places F#m G I can't be the one to fill E A Your blanks and empty 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 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
