[A]
I thought I saw you in the [D] battleship, but it was [Bm] only a lookalike.
[A] 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] [A] [F#m]
[A] I thought I saw you in the rusty [D] hook, huddled [Bm] up 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] [D] And I elongated my lift, [Bm] oh, [F#m] yeah, I let him go the long [D] way round.
[Bm] I snatched his scent on the seatbelt [E] and kept my shortcuts [A] to myself.
[D] [B]
[A] I thought I saw you in the parrot's [D] beak, messing [Bm] with the smoke [A] alarm.
It was too loud for me to hear her [D] speak, and she [Bm] had a broken arm.
[F#m] It was [A] close, so close that the [F#m] walls were wet, [A] and she wrote it out in [D] lettresset.
[Bm] No, you can't call [C#m] me her name.
[A] Tell me [C#m] where's your hiding place?
[A] [C#m] I'm worried I'll forget your face.
[F#m] And I've asked everyone, [Bm] I'm beginning to think I [E] imagined you all [D] along.
I elongated my [Bm] lift, oh, [F#m] yeah, I let him go the long way [D] round.

[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 that [F#m] she was close.
[A] Well, you couldn't get much [F#m] closer.
She [A] said, I'm really not supposed [D] to, but yes, you can call me anything you [A] want.
