Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone: chords

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

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:
      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

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 Letraset
"No, you can't call me her name"

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

Choru:
      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

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"
