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