Verse
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
[Chorus 1]
C# G#
We keep on running, running through a red light
D# Fm
Like we're trying to burn the night away
C# G#
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
D# Fm
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
C# G#
This is my favorite part, oh
D# Fm
Help me piece it all together darling
C# G#
Before it falls apart, oh
D# N.C.
Help me piece it all together
[Verse 2]
G# C#
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing (yeah, yeah)
G# C#
We want the bodies on the 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 twelve
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
[Chorus 2]
C# G#
We keep on running, running through a red light
D# Fm
Like we're trying to burn the night away
C# G#
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
D# Fm
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
C# G#
Why we always chasing after something
D# Fm
Like we trying to throw our lives away
C# G#
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
D# Fm
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
C# G#
This is my favorite part, oh
D# Fm
Help me piece it all together darling
C# G#
Before it falls apart, oh
D# N.C.
Help me piece it all together
[Bridge]
G# C#
I can't remember, I can't remember
G# C#
I can't remember, I can't remember
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
C# G#
We keep on running, running through a red light
D# Fm
Like we're trying to burn the night away
C# G#
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
D# Fm
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
