Verse
[Em] You got [D] the lights on in the [C] afternoon
And the [B7] nights are drawn out long [Em]
And you're [D] kissing to cut through the [C] gloom
With a [B7] cough drop coloured tongue [Em]
You were [D] sitting in the corner with the [C] coats all piled high
And I [B7] thought you might be mine [Em]
In a [D] small world on an exceptionally [C] rainy Tuesday night
In the [B7] right place and time
Chorus
When the [Em] zeros line up on the twenty [D] four hour clock
When you [C] know who's calling even though the [B7] number is blocked
When you [Em] walked around your house wearing my [D] sky blue Lacoste
And [C] your knee socks [B7]
Verse
[Em] Well, you [D] cured my January [C] blues,
yeah, you [B7] made it all alright [Em]
I got a [D] feeling I might've lit the very [C] fuse
that you [B7] were trying not to light [Em]
You were a [D] stranger in my phonebook I was [C] acting like I knew
Cause I [B7] had nothing to lose [Em]
When the [D] winter's in full swing and your dreams [C] just aren't coming true
Ain't it [B7] funny what you'll do?
Chorus
When the [Em] zeros line up on the twenty [D] four hour clock
When you [C] know who's calling even though the [B7] number is blocked
When you [Em] walked around your house wearing my [D] sky blue Lacoste
And [C] your knee socks [B7]
Bridge
[Am] In late afternoon, the ghost [C] in your room
That you always [Em] thought didn't approve of [D] you knocking boots
Never stopped you [C] letting me get hold of the [B7] sweet spot
By the scruff of [Em] 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)
Chorus
When the [Em] zeros line up on the twenty [D] four hour clock
When you [C] know who's calling even though the [B7] number is blocked
When you [Em] walked around your house wearing my [D] sky blue Lacoste
And [C] your knee socks [B7]
When the [Em] zeros line up on the twenty [D] four hour clock
When you [C] know who's calling even though the [B7] number is blocked
When you [Em] walked around your house wearing my [D] sky blue Lacoste
And [C] your knee socks [B7]
