Arctic Monkeys - Knee Socks

intro
Em D C B x2

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
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

( chorus )

Em D
when the zeros line up on the twentyfour 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?

( chorus )

Em D
when the zeros line up on the twentyfour 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

( bridge )
C D
in late afternoon , the ghost in your room
Em
that you always thought didn’t approve of you knocking boots
C B
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 twentyfour 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
