[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 2]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
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Bm A F#m A F#m E
Can I call you her name
[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
[Verse 3]A
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's 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 D
And she wrote it out in letra-set
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
A D Bm
A D Bm
F#m Bm
D E
[Verse 4]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 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
