[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,
G D/F# A7
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

It’s “Not unique”. Not now you need this!

👍Good job, thanks. Pretty amazing how these icons who are in their 70's & 80's are still touring and sounding pretty darn good. Too bad I can't afford to go see any of them.
