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
