Em D C B X2
Em You got Dthe lights on in the afterCnoon
And the Bnights are drawn out long Em
And you're Dkissing to cut through the Cgloom
With a Bcough drop coloured tongue Em
You were Dsitting in the corner with the Ccoats all piled high
And I Bthought you might be mine Em
In a Dsmall world on an exceptionally rCainy Tuesday night
In the Bright place and time
(Chorus)
When the Emzeros line up on the twentyDfour hour clock
When you Cknow who's calling even though the Bnumber is blocked
When you Emwalked around your house wearing my Dsky blue Lacoste
And your Cknee socks B
Em Well you Dcured my January Cblues,
yeah you Bmade it all alright Em
I got a Dfeeling I might've lit the very Cfuse
that you Bwere trying not to light Em
You were a Dstranger in my phonebook I was Cacting like I knew
Cause I Bhad nothing to lose Em
When the DWinter's in full swing and your Cdreams just aren't coming true
Ain't it Bfunny what you'll do'
(Chorus)
When the Emzeros line up on the twentyDfour hour clock
When you Cknow who's calling even though the Bnumber is blocked
When you Emwalked around your house wearing my Dsky blue Lacoste
And your Cknee socks B
(Bridge)
CIn late afternoon, the ghost Din your room
That you always Emthought didn't approve of you knocking boots
Never stopped you Cletting me get hold of the Bsweet spot
By the scruff of your Em knee socks
EmYou 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 Emzeros line up on the twentyDfour hour clock
When you Cknow who's calling even though the Bnumber is blocked
When you Emwalked around your house wearing my Dsky blue Lacoste
And your Cknee socks B
