Em  D  C  B7


[Verse]

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                              C
You were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
      B7                            Em
And I thought you might be mine
     D                                C
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
       B7
In the right place and time


[Chorus]

         Em                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
         C                                  B7
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             B7
And your knee socks


[Verse]

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                              C
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
        B7                    Em
Cause I had nothing to lose
         D                                      C
When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
         B7
Ain't it funny what you'll do?


[Chorus]

         Em                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
         C                                  B7
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             B7
And your knee socks


[Bridge]

Am                           C
In late afternoon, the ghost in your room
                Em                           D
That you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
                  C                               B7
Never stopped you letting 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]

         Em                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
         C                                  B7
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            B7
And your knee socks

         Em                          D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
         C                                  B7
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            B7
And your knee socks
