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                        D    Bm                 A  
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her, if i could call her your name

A  
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook  
D           Bm  
huddled up in a wicker chair  
A  
I wondered 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    Bm          A     F#m A   F#m E  
Till I asked awfully politely please, can I call you her name  
 
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                A        D E  
and kept my shortcuts to myself  
 
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  
it was close, so close that the walls were wet  
F#m           A      D      Bm            C#m  
and she wrote it as electroset, no you cant call me her name  
 
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  
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along  
D            Bm  
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

A  
I saw your sister in a 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
