[Intro]
[A]
[Verse1]
[A] I thought I saw you in the Battleship
[D] but it was only a l[Bm]look-a-like
[A] She was nothing but a vision trick
[D] Under the [Bm]warning light
She was [F#m]close, c[A]close enough to be your gh[F#m]ghost
But my ch[A]chances turned to toast
When I a[D]asked her if I [Bm]could call her your n[A]name [F#m] [A] [F#m]
[Verse2]
[A]I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
[D] Huddled up in a w[Bm]wicker chair
[A] I wandered over for a closer look
[D] And kissed whoever was s[Bm]sitting there
She was [F#m]close, and she h[A]held me very tightly[F#m]tightly
'Til I a[A]asked awfully politely, [D]please
Can [Bm]I call you he[A]her nam[F#m]name [A] [F#m] [E]
[Chorus]
And I [D]elongated my lift h[Bm]home,
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long way 'rou[D]'round
I [Bm]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And k[E]kept my shortcuts to myself
[Instrumental]
[A] [D] [E]
[Verse3]
[A] I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
[D] Messing with the sm[Bm]smoke alarm,
[A] It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
[D] And she had a br[Bm]broken arm,
It was [F#m]close, [A]so close that the walls were [F#m]wet
And she w[A]wrote it out in letra-s[D]letra-set
No, you c[Bm]can't call me her n[C#m]name
[Bridge]
[A] Tell me where's your h[C#m]hiding place
[A] I'm worried I'll for[C#m]forget your face
And [F#m]I've asked everyone
I'm [Bm]beginning to think I imag[E]ined you all a[E6]lon[optional]g [here]
[Chorus]
And I [D]elongated my lift h[Bm]home,
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long way 'rou[D]'round
I [Bm]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [Dm]kept my shortcuts to myself
[Solo]
[A] [D] [Bm] [A] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] [Bm] [D] [E]
[Verse4]
[A] I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
[D] On the phone to the m[Bm]middle man
[A] When I saw that she was on her own
[D] I thought she might u[Bm]understand
She was [F#m]close, well you c[A]couldn't get much cl[F#m]closer
She said I'm r[A]really not supposed to but y[D]yes,
You can c[Bm]call me anything you[A]you want
