Gm            D
12:51 is the time my voice
          Gm
Found the words I sought
           D
Is it this stage I want?
    Gm                 D
The world is shutting out, for us
        Gm
We were tense for sure
       D
But we was confident

D                    G
Kiss me now that I'm older
Em                A
I won't try to control you
D                       G
Friday nights have been lonely
Em                    A
Take it slow but don't warn me

D                   G
We'd go out and get 40's
Em                  A
Then we'd go to some party
D                         G
Oh really, your folks are away now?

Alright I'm coming...

I'll be right there  (fading)
