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 A
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her, if i could call her your name
(A F#m A F#m)

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 F#m A F#m E
Till I asked awfully 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 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
Dm
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
