[Verse 1]
F I thought I saw you in the Battleship
B Gm but it was only a look-a-like
F She was nothing but a vision trick
B Gm Under the warning light
C#m F C#mShe was close, close enough to be your ghost
FBut my chances turned to toast
B Gm F C#m F C#mWhen I asked her if I could call her your name
[Verse 2]
FI thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
B Gm Huddled up in a wicker chair
F I wandered over for a closer look
B Gm And kissed whoever was sitting there
C#m F C#mShe was close, and she held me very tightly
F B'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Gm F C#m F C#mCan I call you her name
[Chorus]
B GmAnd I elongated my lift home,
C#m B Yeah, I let him Go the long way 'round
GmI smelt your scent on the seatbelt
FAnd kept my shortcuts to myself
[Instrumental]
F B F
[Verse 3]
F I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
B Gm Messing with the smoke alarm,
F It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
B Gm And she had a broken arm,
C#m F C#mIt was close, so close that the walls were wet
F BAnd she wrote it out in letra-set
Gm F#mNo, you can't call me her name
[Bridge]
F F#m Tell me where's your hiding place
F F#m I'm worried I'll forget your face
C#mAnd I've asked everyone
Gm F F6 optional here
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
[Chorus]
B GmAnd I elongated my lift home,
C#m B Yeah, I let him Go the long way 'round
GmI smelt your scent on the seatbelt
BmAnd kept my shortcuts to myself
[Solo]

[Verse 4]
F I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
B Gm On the phone to the middle man
F When I saw that she was on her own
B Gm I thought she might understand
C#m F C#mShe was close, well you couldn't get much closer
F BShe said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
Gm FYou can call me anything you want
