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
solo
A D Bm x2 ( play this like you would in the verse )
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 .
you may want to work out strumming and timing for yourself especially in the bridge and
where it gets a bit different . it’s overall a pretty simple song from the new album .
