Tabbed by: Robert Farrell Key: A major [Intro] A [Verse 1]
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
But my chances turned to toast

        D             Bm                   A   F#m   A   F#m
When I asked her if I could call her your name
[Verse 2]
A
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook

D                 Bm
 Huddled up in a wicker chair

A
 I wandered 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
'Til I asked awfully politely, please

    Bm           A    F#m   A   F#m  E
Can I call you her name
[Chorus]
      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
And kept my shortcuts to myself
[Instrumental] A D E [Verse 3]
A
 I thought I saw you in the Parrot's 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                            F#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet

         A                     D
And she wrote it out in letra-set

         Bm                C#m
No, you can't call me her name
[Bridge]
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             E6 optional here
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
[Chorus]
      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

    Dm
And kept my shortcuts to myself
[Solo] A D Bm A D Bm F#m Bm D E [Verse 4]
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

        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
