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 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     Bm             A     F#m  A  F#m  E
'Til 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
