Verse 1:

D         G
Talk to me now I'm older
   Em           A
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
D            G
Friday nights have been lonely
Em            A
Change your plans and then phone me

Break:

D Bm A (x4)

Verse 2:

D          G
We could go and get 40s
Em        A
Fuck goin' to that party

Oh really, your folks are away now?

Alright, let's go, you convinced me

Break:

Chorus:

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

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

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?
 Em         A
Alright I'm coming...

I'll be right there (fading)
