Intro:
A augmentedA

Verse 1:
A augmentedA
 I thought I saw you in the Battleship
D MajorD          B minorBm
 but it was only a look-a-like
A augmentedA
 She was nothing but a vision trick
D MajorD     B minorBm
 Under the warning light
    F# minorF#m   A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
     A augmentedA
But my chances turned to toast
    D MajorD       B minorBm          A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
When I asked her if I could call her your name

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
D MajorD         B minorBm
 Huddled up in a wicker chair
A augmentedA
 I wandered over for a closer look
D MajorD            B minorBm
 And kissed whoever was sitting there
    F# minorF#m       A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
She was close, and she held me very tightly
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
  B minorBm      A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m E MajorE
Can I call you her name

Chorus:
   D MajorD         B minorBm
And I elongated my lift home,
F# minorF#m                  D MajorD
  Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
 B minorBm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
   E MajorE
And kept my shortcuts to myself

Instrumental:
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE

Verse 3:
A augmentedA
 I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
D MajorD          B minorBm
 Messing with the smoke alarm,
A augmentedA
 It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
D MajorD        B minorBm
 And she had a broken arm,
    F# minorF#m  A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
     A augmentedA           D MajorD
And she wrote it out in letra-set
     B minorBm        C# minorC#m
No, you can't call me her name

Bridge:
A augmentedA           C# minorC#m
 Tell me where's your hiding place
A augmentedA          C# minorC#m
 I'm worried I'll forget your face
  F# minorF#m
And I've asked everyone
  B minorBm            E MajorE       E6E6
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

Chorus:
   D MajorD         B minorBm
And I elongated my lift home,
F# minorF#m                  D MajorD
  Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
 B minorBm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
  DmDm
And kept my shortcuts to myself

Solo:
A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm
A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm
F# minorF#m B minorBm
D MajorD E MajorE

Verse 4:
A augmentedA
 I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
D MajorD           B minorBm
 On the phone to the middle man
A augmentedA
 When I saw that she was on her own
D MajorD           B minorBm
 I thought she might understand
    F# minorF#m       A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
       A augmentedA             D MajorD
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
     B minorBm         A augmentedA
You can call me anything you want
