Tabbed by: Challenger440
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This is not my work.
It is Tom Hill's tab (Ver2) along with Chords Ver1 (anonymous).
I simply added the chorus/bridge parts to the tab and specified
how to play the chords.
This is an excellent song and I hope you enjoy.

e|---12----5----8----2----|
B|---12----7----8----4----|

First, just the Em is played after each line,
then they are all played in the above order.
For each chord, just strum once and then add
a little vibrato, preferably with a whammy bar.
[Em] You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long[Em]
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue[Em]
You were [D]sitting in the corner with the [C]coats all piled high
And I [B]thought you might be mine[Em]
In a [D]small world on an exceptionally r[C]ainy Tuesday night
In the [B]right place and time
Chorus:
Main Riff
Verse 2:
[Em] Well you cured my January blues,
yeah you made it all alright[Em]
I got a feeling I might've lit the very fuse
that you were trying not to light[Em]
You were a [D]stranger in my phonebook I was [C]acting like I knew
Cause I [B]had nothing to lose[Em]
When the [D]Winter's in full swing and your [C]dreams just aren't coming true
Ain't it [B]funny what you'll do?
Bridge: (this part played four times, with Joshua Homme's background vocals
(in parenthesis) starting on the third time and continuing into the Chorus.
Always just the Em as the line repeats.)
[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/Outro:
Main Riff
(listen to know when to stop)
