A [Verse 1]
A I thought I saw you in the Battleship
DBm but it was only a look-a-like
A She was nothing but a vision trick
DBm Under the warning light
F#mAF#m She was close, close enough to be your ghost
A But my chances turned to toast
DBmAF#mAF#m When I asked her if I could call her your name
 [Verse 2]
A I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
DBm Huddled up in a wicker chair
A I wandered over for a closer look
DBm And kissed whoever was sitting there
F#mAF#m She was close, and she held me very tightly
AD 'Til I asked awfully politely, please
BmAF#mAF#mE Can I call you her name
 [Chorus]
DBm And I elongated my lift home,
F#mD 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,
DBm Messing with the smoke alarm,
A It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
DBm And she had a broken arm,
F#mAF#m It was close, so close that the walls were wet
AD And she wrote it out in letra-set
BmC#m No, you can't call me her name
 [Bridge]
AC#m Tell me where's your hiding place
AC#m I'm worried I'll forget your face
F#m And I've asked everyone
BmEE6 optional here I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
 [Chorus]
DBm And I elongated my lift home,
F#mD 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 BmA D BmF#m BmD E [Verse 4]
A I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
DBm On the phone to the middle man
A When I saw that she was on her own
DBm I thought she might understand
F#mAF#m She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
AD She said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
BmA
