Em              D                                   C
You got the lights on in the afternoon
               B                                  Em
And the nights are drawn out long
                   D                                           C
And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom
            B                                      Em
With a cough drop coloured tongue
                         D                                               C
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
           B                                        Em
And I thought you might be mine
        D                                                     C
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy tuesday night
           B
In the right place and time

Refrão

                  Em                                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock
                   C                                                           B
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
                  Em                                                              D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste
             C                      B
And your knee socks

Em           D                            C
Well, you cured my January blues
                  B                          Em
Yeah, you made it all alright
                       D                                    C
I got a feeling I might’ve lit the very fuse
                       B                            Em
that you were trying not to light
                    D                                                     C
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
               B                         Em
Cause I had nothing to lose
                  D                                          C
When the Winter’s in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true
             B
Ain’t it funny what you’ll do?

Refrão

                  Em                                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock
                   C                                                           B
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
                  Em                                                              D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste
             C                      B
And your knee socks

C
In late afternoon
         D
The ghost in your room
                           Em
That you always thought didn’t approve
             D
Of you knocking boots
                                 C                                          B
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your
Em
Knee socks

Em
You and me could have been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of mean streets
You could be my baby

Refrão

                  Em                                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock
                   C                                                           B
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
                  Em                                                              D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste
             C                      B
