Tone: [Em]
[Intro]
[Em] [D] [C] [B7] [Em] [D] [C] [B7]
[Verse]
[Em] You got [D]the lights on in the after[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 r[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 your[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 your[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 you[D]you knocking boots
Never stopped you [C]letting me get hold of the sweet[B7]sweet spot
By the scruff of your[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 your[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 your[C]your knee socks [B7]
