[B] [F#] [A#] [A]
I thought I saw you in the [D] battleship, but it was [Bm] only [A] lookalikes.
She was nothing but a vision [D] trick.
[Bm] Under the warning light, [F#m] she was close, [A] close enough to be [F#m] your ghost.
[A] But my chances turned to [D] toast when I asked her if [Bm] I could call her [A] your name.
[F#m] I [A] [F#m]
[A] thought I saw you in the rusty [D] hook, huddled up [Bm] in a wicker chair.
[A] I wandered over for a closer [D] look, and kissed whoever [Bm] was sitting there.
[F#m] She was close, [A] and she held me very [F#m] tightly, [A] till I asked awfully [D] politely,
please, [Bm] can I call [A] you her [F#m] name?
[A] [F#m] [C#m] [D] And I elongated my lift [Bm] home.
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long [D] way round.
[Bm] I snuffed your scent on the seatbelt, [E] and kept my shortcuts [A] to myself.
[D] [E]
[A] I thought I saw you in the pirate's beak, [D] messing with the smoke [A] alarm.
It was too loud for me to hear her [D] speak, and she had a broken [F#m] arm.
It was close, [A] so close that the [F#m] walls were wet, [A] and she wrote these out in [D] lectures sets.
No, you can't call [C#m] me her name.
[A] Tell me, [C#m] where's your hiding place?
[A] I'm worried [C#m] I'll forget your face.
[F#m] And I've asked everyone.
[Bm] I'm beginning to think I [E] imagined you all along.
[D] I elongated my [Bm] lift home.
[F#m] Yeah, I let him go the long way [D] round.
[Bm] I snuffed your scent on the seatbelt, [Dm] and kept my shortcuts to myself.

[D] [Bm] [A]
[D] [Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [D]
[E] [A] I saw your sister in the [D] cornerstone, on the phone [Bm] to the middleman.
[A] When I saw that she was on her [D] own, I thought she [Bm] might understand.
She [F#m] was close, but [A] you couldn't get much [F#m] closer.
She said, [A] I'm really not [D] supposed to, but yes, you can call me anything [A] you want.
I thought I saw you in the [D] battleship, but it was [Bm] only [A] lookalikes.
She was nothing but a vision [D] trick.
