Cornerstone

	  		(Intro) A  

  

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						D	Bm                 A  
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her, if i could call her your name  

(A  F#m  A  F#m)  

  

A  
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook  
D		   Bm  
huddled up in a wicker chair  
A  
I wondered over for a closer look  
D		   Bm  
and kissed whoever was sitting there  
F#m		A		   F#m  
She was close and she held me very tightly  
A				D	Bm	      A     F#m A   F#m E  
Till I asked awfully politely please, can I call you her name  

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			    A	    D E  
and kept my shortcuts to myself  

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  
it was close, so close that the walls were wet  
F#m	       A	  D      Bm			C#m  
and she wrote it as electroset, no you cant 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  
D			Bm  
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  
I saw your sister in a 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		    F#m  
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer  
    	      A				 D  
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes  
	  Bm	              A  
You can call me anything you want
