[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.
