Verse
E A
It's a quarter past midnight as we cut through the city (yeah, yeah, yeah)
E A
The streets are getting restless, good times, bad decisions (yeah, yeah)
E A
It's a quarter past midnight and the sirens are mending some hearts
E A
But we're the losers on the back seats singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
E A
It's a quarter past midnight, still avoiding tomorrow
E A
It's a quarter past midnight, but we're just getting going
[Chorus 1]
A E
We keep on running, running through a red light
B C#m
Like we're trying to burn the night away
A E
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
B C#m
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
A E
This is my favorite part, oh
B C#m
Help me piece it all together darling
A E
Before it falls apart, oh
B N.C.
Help me piece it all together
[Verse 2]
E A
It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing (yeah, yeah)
E A
We want the bodies on the billboards, not the lives underneath them (yeah, yeah, yeah)
E A
And now we're crawling up the walls again and it's a quarter past twelve
E A
And you said we'd leave this place in dust and fall from heaven straight through hell
E A
We never know what we have, we never knew what we had
[Chorus 2]
A E
We keep on running, running through a red light
B C#m
Like we're trying to burn the night away
A E
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
B C#m
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
A E
Why we always chasing after something
B C#m
Like we trying to throw our lives away
A E
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
B C#m
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
A E
This is my favorite part, oh
B C#m
Help me piece it all together darling
A E
Before it falls apart, oh
B N.C.
Help me piece it all together
[Bridge]
E A
I can't remember, I can't remember
E A
I can't remember, I can't remember
[Verse 3]
E A
It's a quarter past midnight and the secrets are flowing
E A
Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying
E
We never knew what we had, never know what I've had
[Chorus 3]
A E
We keep on running, running through a red light
B C#m
Like we're trying to burn the night away
A E
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
B C#m
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
A E
Why we always chasing after something

Like we trying to throw our lives away
