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 Well, you cured my January blues Yeah, you made it all alright I got a feelin' I might have lit the very fuse That you were tryin' not to light You were a stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew ‘Cause I had nothin' to lose When the winter’s in full swing And your dreams just aren’t comin' true Ain’t it funny what you’ll do? Chorus 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 - x2 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm ![]() C ![]() D ![]() Em ![]() B7 ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
