[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.
Under the warning [F#m] light 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.

[A] [D] And I elongated my lift [Bm] home.

[D] [B]
[A] I thought I saw you in the parrot's [D] beak, messing [Bm] with the smoke [A] alarm.

And she [Bm] had a broken [F#m] arm, it was [A] close, so close that the [F#m] walls were wet.
[A] And she wrote it out in [D] lectureset, [Bm] no, you can't call [C#m] me her name.
[A] Tell me [C#m] where's your hiding [A] place?
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 snatched your scent on the seatbelt [Dm] and kept my short lips to myself.

[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.
[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 [A] you want.
