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 Am
Like we're trying to burn the night away
F C
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
G Am
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
F C
This is my favorite part, oh
G Am
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 Am
Like we're trying to burn the night away
F C
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh
G Am
Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
F C
Why we always chasing after something
G Am
Like we trying to throw our lives away

Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh

Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
F C
This is my favorite part, oh
G Am
Help me piece it all together darling

Before it falls apart, oh

Help me piece it all together

Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying

Like we're trying to burn the night away
