Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][G]
[G]I thought I saw you in the Battleship
[C]But it was only a look ali[Am]ke
[G]She was nothing but a vision trick
[C]Under the war[Am]ning light
She was [Em]close
[G]Close enough to be your [Em]ghost
But my [G]chances turned to toast
When I [C]asked her
if I [Am]could call her your [G]name[Em]
[G][Em]

[Verse 2]
[G]I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
[C]Huddled up in wic[Am]ker chair
[G]I wandered up for a closer look
[C]And kissed whoever was sittin[Am]g there
She was [Em]close
And she [G]held me very tight[Em]ly
'Til I asked [G]awfully politely
[C]"Please,
can [Am]I call you her[G] nam[Em]e?"
[G][Em][D]

[Chorus 1]
And I [C]elongated my lift [Am]home
[Em]Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
[C]
I [Am]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [D]kept my shortcuts to my[G]self
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
[C]Messin' with the smoke ala[Am]rm
[G]It was too loud for me to hear her speak
[C]And she had a bro[Am] ken arm
It was [Em]close
[G]So close that the walls were [Em]wet
And she [G]wrote it out in Letra[C]set
"No, you [Am]can't call me her

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]name"
[G]Tell me, where's your hid[Bm]ing place?
[G]I'm worried I'll forget[Bm] your face
And [Em]I've asked everyone
I'm [Am]beginning to think I ima[D]gined you all along

[Chorus 2]
I [C]elongated my lift [Am]home
[Em]Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
[C]
I [Am]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [Cm]kept my shortcuts to myself

[Solo 1]
[G][C][Am]
[G][C][Am]
[Em][Am]
[C][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
[C]On the phone to the mid[Am] dle man
[G]When I saw that she was on her own
[C]I thought she might und[Am]erstand
That she was [Em]close
Well, you [G]couldn't get much clo[Em]ser
She said, "I'm [G]really not supposed to, but [C]yes
You can call me [Am]anything you [G]want
