Guitar 1 (Alex Turner)
Intro
A
Verse 1
A
I thought I saw you in the battleship
D Bm
but it was only a look-a-like
A
She was nothing but a vision trick
D Bm
Under the warning light
F#m A F#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
A
But my chances turned to toast
D Bm A
When i asked her if i could call her your name
Verse 1 [cont] (Same pattern)
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name
(To transition into the chorus you can continue playing A then F#m)
Chorus
D Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
F#m D
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
E
And kept my shortcuts to myself
A D Bm (Come in with A at the end of the chorus and play these chords like in the verse)
Verse 2 (Same Pattern)
A
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak,
D Bm
Messing with the smoke alarm,
A
It was too loud for me to hear her speak,
D Bm
And she had a broken arm,

F#m A F#m
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
A
And she wrote it out in letra-set
D Bm C#m
No, you can't call me her name
Bridge
A C#m
Tell me where's your hiding place
A C#m
I'm worried I'll forget your face
F#m
And I've asked everyone
Bm E
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
Chorus
D Bm
And I elongated my lift home,
F#m D
Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Dm
And kept my shortcuts to myself

F#m Bm
D E
Verse 3
A
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
D Bm
On the phone to the middle man
A
When I saw that she was on her own
D Bm
I thought she might understand
F#m A
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
F#m A D
She said i'm really not supposed to but yes,
A
You can call me anything you want
Fade out.
