Intro: A
Verse:
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
Gbm A Gbm
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
A
But my chances turned to toast
D Bm A -Gbm A Gbm-
When i asked her if i could call her your name
Verse -same as first-:
I thought I saw you in the rusty Hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name.
Chorus:
D Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
Gbm D
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
E
And kept my shortcuts to myself
Interlude: A D E
Verse:
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,
Gbm A Gbm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
A
And she wrote it out in letra-set
D Bm Dbm
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge:
A Dbm
Tell me where's your hiding place
A Dbm
I'm worried I'll forget your face
Gbm
And I've asked everyone
Bm E
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
Chorus:
D Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
Gbm 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

Verse:
A
I saw your sister in the 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
Gbm A
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
Gbm A D
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
Bm A
You can call me anything you want
