Intro: Em D C B7 x2 Em D C You got the lights on in the afternoon B7 Em And the nights are drawn out long D C And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom B7 Em With a cough drop coloured tongue D You were sitting in the corner C with the coats all piled high B7 Em And I thought you might be mine D In a small world on an exceptionally C rainy Tuesday night B7 In the right place and time Chorus: Em When the zeros line up D on the twenty four hour clock C When you know who’s calling B7 even though the number is blocked Em When you walked around your house D wearing my sky blue Lacoste C B7 And your knee socks Em D C Well, you cured my January blues, B7 Em yeah, you made it all alright D C I got a feeling I might’ve lit the very fuse B7 Em that you were trying not to light D You were a stranger in my phonebook C I was acting like I knew B7 Em Cause I had nothing to lose D When the winter’s in full swing C and your dreams just aren’t coming true B7 Ain’t it funny what you’ll do? Chorus: Em When the zeros line up D on the twenty four hour clock C When you know who’s calling B7 even though the number is blocked Em When you walked around your house D wearing my sky blue Lacoste C B7 And your knee socks Bridge: C In late afternoon, D the ghost in your room Em That you always thought didn’t Em approve of you knocking boots C Never stopped you letting B7 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) Chorus: x2 Em When the zeros line up D on the twenty four hour clock C When you know who’s calling B7 even though the number is blocked Em When you walked around your house D wearing my sky blue Lacoste C B7 And your knee socks
