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

But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistencies, not unique, just distantly

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             A             
But I can't help but be ruled by my antiquities, not unique, just distantly

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
