[Intro]
Bm G B C
Bm G B C
[Verse]
Bm G B You got the lights on in the afternoon
C BmAnd the nights are drawn out long
G BAnd you're kissing to cut through the gloom
C BmWith a cough drop coloured tongue
G BYou were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
C BmAnd I thought you might be mine
G BIn a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
CIn the right place and time
[Chorus]
Bm GWhen the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
B CWhen you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Bm GWhen you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
B CAnd your knee socks
[Verse]
Bm G B Well you cured my January blues,
C Bmyeah you made it all alright
G BI got a feeling I might've lit the very fuse
C Bmthat you were trying not to light
G BYou were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
C BmCause I had nothing to lose
G BWhen the Winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
CAin't it funny what you'll do?
[Chorus]
Bm GWhen the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
B CWhen you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Bm GWhen you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
B CAnd your knee socks
[Bridge]
B GIn late afternoon, the ghost in your room
BmThat you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
B CNever stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot
BmBy the scruff of your knee socks
BmYou 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]
Bm GWhen the zeros line up on the twentyfour hour clock
B CWhen you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Bm GWhen you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
B CAnd your knee socks
