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

D G A D
Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby

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

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

G D A G D A G D
A D
But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistancies, now you need this 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 roundez-vous, 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 the shelves

G D A G D A G D
A D
But I can't help but be ruled by my intiguities, now you need this distantly
in love

Instrumental
|D G A D :|

A G A G
I can't be the one to fill your times and all your places

A 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
He presents like problems if he loves you half as much

G D A G D A G
D A D
'Cause I who can't help but be ruled by my intiguities now you need this
distantly in love

Dsus4 D Dsus2

G D A G D A G
D A
You know I can't help but be part of my own philosophies, now you need this
distantly in

D
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!
