Verse 1
[Bbm] I thought I saw you in the Battleship
[Cb] but it was only a [A#m]look-a-like
[Bbm] She was nothing but a vision trick
[Cb] Under the [A#m]warning light
She was [Ab]close, [Bbm]close enough to be your [Ab]ghost
But my [Bbm]chances turned to toast
When I [Cb]asked her if I [A#m]could call her your [Bbm]name [Ab] [Bbm] [Ab]

Verse 2
[Bbm]I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
[Cb] Huddled up in a [A#m]wicker chair
[Bbm] I wandered over for a closer look
[Cb] And kissed whoever was [A#m]sitting there
She was [Ab]close, and she [Bbm]held me very [Ab]tightly
'Til I [Bbm]asked awfully politely, [Cb]please
Can [A#m]I call you [Bbm]her [Ab]name [Bbm] [Ab] [D]

Chorus
And I [Cb]elongated my lift [A#m]home,
[Ab] Yeah, I let him go the long way 'rou[Cb]nd
I [A#m]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [D]kept my shortcuts to myself

Instrumental
[Bbm] [Cb] [D]

Verse 3
[Bbm] I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
[Cb] Messing with the [A#m]smoke alarm,
[Bbm] It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
[Cb] And she had a [A#m]broken arm,
It was [Ab]close, [Bbm]so close that the walls were [Ab]wet
And she [Bbm]wrote it out in [Cb]letra-set
No, you [A#m]can't call me her [C]name

Bridge
[Bbm] Tell me where's your [C]hiding place
[Bbm] I'm worried I'll [C]forget your face
And [Ab]I've asked everyone
I'm [A#m]beginning to think I [D]imagined you all [E6]along

Chorus
And I [Cb]elongated my lift [A#m]home,
[Ab] Yeah, I let him go the long way [Cb]'round
I [A#m]smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And [Eb]kept my shortcuts to myself

Solo
[Bbm] [Cb] [A#m]
[Bbm] [Cb] [A#m]
[Ab] [A#m]
[Cb] [D]

Verse 4
[Bbm] I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
[Cb] On the phone to the [A#m]middle man
[Bbm] When I saw that she was on her own
[Cb] I thought she might [A#m]understand
She was [Ab]close, well you [Bbm]couldn't get much [Ab]closer
She said I'm [Bbm]really not supposed to but [Cb]yes,
You can [A#m]call me anything you [Bbm]want⠀
