G
I thought I saw you in the battleship
C                  Am
but it was only a look-a-like
G
She was nothing but a vision trick
C                  Am
under the warning light
Em              G                       Em
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
G                                               C       Am                 G
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her, if i could call her your name

G
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
C                  Am
huddled up in a wicker chair
G
I wondered over for a closer look
C                  Am
and kissed whoever was sitting there
Em              G                  Em
She was close and she held me very tightly
G                               C       Am            G     Em   G   Em D
So that I softly politely please, can I call you her name

C                       Am
And I elongated my lift home
Em                                C
yeah I let him go the long way round
Am
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
D                           G       C D
and kept my shortcuts to myself

G
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
C                  Am
messing with the smoke alarm
G
it was too loud for me to hear her speak
C               Am
and she had a broken arm
Em            A
it was close, so close that the walls were wet
Em             G          C      Am                     Bm
and she wrote it as electroset, no you cant call me her name

G                    Bm
Tell me where's your hiding place
G                  Bm
I'm worried I'll forget your face
Em
and i've asked everyone
Am                       D
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
C                       Am
I elongated my lift home

Em                              C
Yeah I let him go the long way round
Am
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Cm
and kept my shortcuts to myself

G
I saw your sister in a cornerstone
C                  Am
on the phone to the middle man
G
When I saw that she was on her own
C                  Am
I thought she might understand
         Em              G                  Em
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
              G                          C
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes
          Am                  G
You can call me anything you want
