VerseEmDC
You got the lights on in the afternoon
BEm
And the nights are drawn out long
DC
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
BEm
With a cough drop coloured tongue
DC
You were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
BEm
And I thought you might be mine
DC
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
B
In the right place and time
ChorusEmD
When the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
CB
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
EmD
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
CB
And your knee socks
VerseEmDC
Well you cured my January blues,
BEm
yeah you made it all alright
DC
I got a feeling I might've lit the very fuse
BEm
that you were trying not to light
DC
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
BEm
Cause I had nothing to lose
DC
When the Winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
B
Ain't it funny what you'll do?
ChorusEmD
When the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
CB
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
EmD
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
CB
And your knee socks
BridgeCD
In late afternoon, the ghost in your room
Em
That you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
CB
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot
Em
By the scruff of your knee socks
Em
You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king-and-queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets you could Be My Baby
(The zeros lined up but the number's blocked)
(When you've come undone)
ChorusEmD
When the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
CB
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
EmD
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
CB
And your knee socks
