Verse 1
[A] I thought I saw you in the Battleship
[D] but it was only a [Bm]look-a-like
[A] She was nothing but a vision trick
[D] Under the [Bm]warning light
She was [F#m]close, [A]close enough to be your [F#m]ghost
But my [A]chances turned to toast
When I [D]asked her if I [Bm]could call her your [A]name [F#m] [A] [F#m]
Verse 2
[A]I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
[D] Huddled up in a [Bm]wicker chair
[A] I wandered over for a closer look
[D] And kissed whoever was [Bm]sitting there
She was [F#m]close, and she [A]held me very [F#m]tightly
'Til I [A]asked awfully politely, [D]please
Can [Bm]I call you [A]her [F#m]name [A] [F#m] [E]
Chorus
And I [D]elongated my lift [Bm]home,
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long way 'rou[D]nd
I [Bm]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [E]kept my shortcuts to myself
Instrumental
[A] [D] [E]
Verse 3
[A] I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
[D] Messing with the [Bm]smoke alarm,
[A] It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
[D] And she had a [Bm]broken arm,
It was [F#m]close, [A]so close that the walls were [F#m]wet
And she [A]wrote it out in [D]letra-set
No, you [Bm]can't call me her [C#m]name
Bridge
[A] Tell me where's your [C#m]hiding place
[A] I'm worried I'll [C#m]forget your face
And [F#m]I've asked everyone
I'm [Bm]beginning to think I [E]imagined you all [E6]along
Chorus
And I [D]elongated my lift [Bm]home,
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long way [D]'round
I [Bm]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [Dm]kept my shortcuts to myself
Solo

[F#m] [Bm]

Verse 4
[A] I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
[D] On the phone to the [Bm]middle man
[A] When I saw that she was on her own
[D] I thought she might [Bm]understand
She was [F#m]close, well you [A]couldn't get much [F#m]closer
She said I'm [A]really not supposed to but [D]yes,
You can [Bm]call me anything you [A]want
