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)
