Ten Minutes Out

Ten minutes from your door and every red light feels personal.

Capo 1 — play the shapes in G and it sounds in A♭ major. Much easier than fingering A♭ major straight.

Verse 1

Red light's takin' way too long
Radio's playin' my lucky song
Checked my phone like twenty times
Yeah, I'm runnin' right on time
Got your text sayin' "where you at?"
Smiley face and a little laugh
Funny how a simple thing
Can make your whole night lean in

Pre-Chorus

Heart racin' like I'm late somehow
And I'm almost there right now

Chorus

Ten minutes out
And the whole world's speedin' up now
Every mile, every turn
Got me feelin' that burn
Ten minutes out
And I can already see your smile
Ain't even there, but I'm all in now
Yeah, I'm ten minutes out

Verse 2

Streetlights blur and the clock ticks fast
Tryna make this red light last
Thinkin' 'bout your hand in mine
And how tonight might change my mind
Little buzz I can't explain
Like sunshine runnin' through my veins
Funny how just gettin' close
Can feel like the whole show

Pre-Chorus

Heart racin' like I'm late somehow
And I'm almost there right now

Chorus

Ten minutes out
And the whole world's speedin' up now
Every mile, every turn
Got me feelin' that burn
Ten minutes out
And I can already see your smile
Ain't even there, but I'm all in now
Yeah, I'm ten minutes out

Bridge

Maybe nothin', maybe everything
But right now it feels like somethin' big

Final Chorus

Ten minutes out
And the whole world's speedin' up now
Every mile, every turn
Got me feelin' that burn
Ten minutes out
And I can already see your smile
Ain't even there, but I'm all in now
Yeah, I'm ten minutes out

Outro

Yeah, I'm almost there...

Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
