(A)
I thought I saw you in the battleship
(D) (Bm)
but it was only a look-a-like
(A)
She was nothing but a vision trick
(D) (Bm)
under the warning light
(F#m) (A) (F#m)
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
(A) (D) (Bm)
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her, if i could call her your name
(A)
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
(D) (Bm)
huddled up in a wicker chair
(A)
I wondered over for a closer look
(D) (Bm)
and kissed whoever was sitting there
(Fm) (A) (F#m)
She was close and she held me very tightly
(A) (D) (Bm) (A)
So that I softly politely please, can I call you her name
(D) (Bm)
And I elongated my lift home
(F#m) (D)
yeah I let him go the long way round
(Bm)
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
(E) (A) (A) (D) (E)
and kept my shortcuts to myself
(A)
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
(D) (Bm)
messing with the smoke alarm
(A)
it was too loud for me to hear her speak
(D) (Bm)
and she had a broken arm
(F#m) (A)
it was close, so close that the walls were wet
(F#m) (A) (D) (Bm) (C#m)
and she wrote it as electroset, no you cant call me her name
(A) (C#m)
Tell me where\'s your hiding place
(A) (C#m)
I\'m worried I\'ll forget your face
(F#m)
and i\'ve asked everyone
(Bm) (E)
I\'m beginning to think I imagined you all along
(D) (Bm)
I elongated my lift home
(F#m) (D)
Yeah I let him go the long way round
(Bm)
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
(D)
and kept my shortcuts to myself
[solo]
(A) (D) (Bm) (A) (D) (Bm)

(A)
I saw your sister in a cornerstone
(D) (Bm)
on the phone to the middle man
(A)
When I saw that she was on her own
(D) (Bm)
I thought she might understand
(F#m) (A) (F#m)
She was close, well you couldn\'t get much closer
(A) (D)
She said I\'m really not supposed to but yes
(Bm) (A)
You can call me anything you want
