Quarter Past Midnight

       G                           
It's a quarter past midnight as we 
                C
cut through the city (yeah, yeah, 
yeah)
    G                            
The streets are getting restless, 
                   C
good times, bad decisions (yeah, 
yeah)
       G                           
It's a quarter past midnight and 
             C
the sirens are mending some hearts
              G                 
But we're the losers on the back 
                               C
seats singing "Love Will Tear Us 
Apart"

                    G              
It's a quarter past midnight, still
            C
 avoiding tomorrow
                    G            
It's a quarter past midnight, but 
                    C
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                           
It's a quarter past midnight and 
               C
the speakers are blowing (yeah, 
yeah)
            G                      
We want the bodies on my 
                     C
billboards, not the lives underneath
 them (yeah, yeah, yeah)

              G                    
And now we're crawling up the walls
                  C
 again and it's a quarter past the 
world
        G                          
And you said we'd leave this place 
                      C
in dust and fall from heaven 
straight through hell
                          G        
We never know what we have, we 
                  C
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

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                           
It's a quarter past midnight and 
         C
the secrets are flowing
    G                              
Our lips are getting looser, I 
            C
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
