I should note before this that this is not my work, credit should go to 'mellon_c' of
official Arctic Monkeys forum, I'm simply posting it here to share with a wider audience,
I did was fit music to lyrics. It's also not my responsibility if you don't have the
it leaked a few days ago and you can probably still find it about on various sites.
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.

About artist:
Arctic Monkeys achieved chart success with their first single, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.[1] Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, released on 23 January 2006, was at the time the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, beating Oasis' Definitely Maybe. It remains the fastest-selling debut album for a group. It received critical acclaim, winning both the 2006 Mercury Prize[2] and the 2007 Brit Award for Best British Album. The band's second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, was released on 23 April 2007, sold over 225,000 copies in its debut week, and was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Prize.[3] The group also picked up the award for Best British Album and Best British Group at the Brit awards in 2008.
Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes and online file sharing.[4] They were heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed.[5] The band eventually signed to the independent record label Domino Records.
