Chords

[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 1] (cont - same pattern) 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. (To transition into the chorus play this; A F#m A F#m E, listen out for the strumming) [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
A D E (Come in with A at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse) [Verse 2]
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                                   F#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet

A
And she wrote it out in letra-set

D           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 x2 F#m Bm D E [Verse 3]
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
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer

F#m             A                                       D
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,

                              Bm                   A
You can call me anything you want.
