“Cornerstone”
Arctic Monkeys
A D Bm
I thought I saw you in The Battleship but it was only a lookalike.
She was nothing but a vision trick under the warning light.
Bm F#m A F#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost,
F#m A
But my chances turned to toast when I
D Bm A
asked her if I could call you her 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 until I asked awfully politely,
“Please can I call you her name?”
D Bm
I elongated my lift home.
F#m D
I let him go the long way round.
Bm E
I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my short cuts 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,
D Bm C#m
“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
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
I let him go the long way round.
Bm Dm
I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my short cuts to myself.
SOLO: (A D – Bm) x2
F#m Bm
D E
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.”
