DISTANTLY IN LOVE
Jimmy Buffett
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 F#m A G F#m A
But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistencies,
G F#m A D
not unique just distantly in love.
D G A D
Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged
D G A D
Me and you would rendezvous, 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 F#m A G F#m A
But I can't help but be ruled by my antiquities,
G F#m A D
not unique just distantly in love.
Instrumental
D G A D x2
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 F#m A F#m A
Because I can't help but be ruled by my antiquities,
G F#m A D
not unique just distantly in love.
G F#m A G F#m A
You know I can't help but be part of my own philosophies,
G F#m A D
not unique just distantly in love.
