Intro
Verse 1
I thought I saw you in the Battleship
but it was only a look-a-like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name
Verse 2
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name
Chorus
And I elongated my lift home,
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
Instrumental
Verse 3
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak,
Messing with the smoke alarm,
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
And she had a broken arm,
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letra-set
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge
Tell me where's your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
Bm E E6 optional here
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
Chorus
And I elongated my lift home,
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
Solo
Verse 4
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want
