[Verse 1]
D                  G              A7sus      A7       D
Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,

D              G             A7sus   A7    D
Lovely dancers swayin' to an  island lullaby

  D                  G            A7sus    A7         D
Beside the southern ocean, taking stock of what's to be

D                G                  A7sus    A7     D
Writing you this letter that you'll  prob'ly never see
[Chorus]
    G D/F#  A7
But I can't help but be

G        D/F# A7
ruled by inconsistencies,

G    D/F#        A7
not unique, just distantly

   D Dsus4  D  Dsus2 Dsus2 D
in love
[Verse 2]
D                   G              A7sus         A7   D
Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged

D                G                  A7sus       A7      D
Me and you would rendez-vous, but I  found your number changed

   D              G              A7sus A7       D
So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells

D               G                 A7sus     A       D
Toasted our old photographs still  up there on the shelf
[Chorus]
    G D/F#  A7
But I can't help but be

G        D/F# A7
ruled by my antiquity,

G    D/F#        A7
not unique, just distantly

   D Dsus4  D  Dsus2 Dsus2 D
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
[Verse 3]
  D               G                A7sus  A7     D
I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay

D             G             A7sus   A7    D
You had a new lover who had  stolen you away

D                 G             A7sus A7     D
That could be the reason that I never got in touch

D                  G              A7sus      A7      D
May present slight problems if he  loves you half as much
[Chorus]
      G D/F#  A7
Cause I can't help but be

G        D/F#  A7
ruled by my  antiquity,

not unique, just distantly

   D Dsus4  D  Dsus2 Dsus2 D
in love
[Outro]
         G D/F#  A7
You know I can't help but be

  G        D/F#    A7
part of my own philosophies,

G             A
not unique, just distantly

   D Dsus4  D  Dsus2 Dsus2 D
in love
