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
F#m		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

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
