    Cornerstone: Arctic Monkeys

    Uploaded by

    Álvaro Velasco Guitián
    The song describes mistakenly seeing a woman who resembles an ex-lover in various situations, including on a battleship, in a wicker chair, and in a parrot's beak. Each time, upon closer inspection, it turns out to be someone else. The singer longs to forget his ex but can't stop thinking about her and asking others if they've seen her. He smells her scent on his car seatbelt and takes the long way home, keeping his "shortcuts to myself."

    I thought I saw you in the battleship

    D Bm

    But it was only a look-a-like

    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

    But my chances turned to toast when I asked her if I could call her your name

    ( A F#m A F#m )

    I thought I saw you in the rusty hook

    D Bm

    Huddled up in a wicker chair

    I wandered 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

    'Til I asked awfully politely, please, can I call you her name?

    ( F#m E )

    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

    I thought I saw you in the parrots beak

    D Bm

    Messing with the smoke alarm

    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 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]

    I saw your sister in a cornerstone

    D Bm

    On the phone to the middle man

    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
