Intro 

       G                                           C  
It's a quarter past midnight as we cut through the city (yeah, yeah, yeah)  
    G                                               C  
The streets are getting restless, good times, bad decisions (yeah, yeah)  
       G                                        C  
It's a quarter past midnight and the sirens are mending some hearts  
              G                                                C  
But we're the losers on the back seats singing 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'  

                    G                          C  
It's a quarter past midnight, still avoiding tomorrow  
                    G                                C  
It's a quarter past midnight, but we're just getting going  

   C                 G  
We keep on running, running through a red light  
D                             Em  
Like we're trying to burn the night away  
 C                  G  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh  
 D                  Em  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh  

C                   G  
This is my favorite part, oh  
D                    Em  
Help me piece it all together darling  
C                G  
Before it falls apart, oh  
D                     C  
Help me piece it all together  

       G                                          C  
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing (yeah, yeah)  
            G                                           C  
We want the bodies on my billboards, not the lives underneath them (yeah, yeah, yeah)  
              G                                      C  
And now we're crawling up the walls again and it's a quarter past the world  
        G                                                C  
And you said we'd leave this place in dust and fall from heaven straight through hell  
                          G                          C  
We never know what we have, we never knew what we had  

   C                 G  
We keep on running, running through a red light  
D                             Em  
Like we're trying to burn the night away  
 C                  G  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh  
 D                  Em  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh  

 C            G  
Why we always chasing after something  
D                           Em  
Like we trying to throw our lives away  
 C                  G  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh  
 D                  Em  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh  

C                   G  
This is my favorite part, oh  
D                    Em  
Help me piece it all together darling  
C                G  
Before it falls apart, oh  
D                      
Help me piece it all together  

G                 C  
I can't remember, I can't remember  
G                 C  
I can't remember, I can't remember  

       G                                    C  
It's a quarter past midnight and the secrets are flowing  
    G                                          C  
Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying  
                         G  
We never knew what we had, never know what I've had  

   C                 G  
We keep on running, running through a red light  
D                             Em  
Like we're trying to burn the night away  
 C                  G  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh  
 D                  Em  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh  

 C            G  
Why we always chasing after something  
D                           Em  
Like we trying to throw our lives away  
 C                  G  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh  
 D                  Em  
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh  

C                   G  
This is my favorite parts, oh  
D                    Em  
Help me piece it all together darling  
C                G  
Before it falls apart, oh  
D                     C  
Help me piece it all together
