[Ab] It's a quarter past midnight as we cut [Db] through the city
Yeah, yeah, [Ab] yeah, the streets are getting restless
Good [Db] times, bad decisions
Yeah, yeah, [Ab] it's a quarter past midnight
And the [Db] sirens are mending some hearts
[Ab] But we're the losers on our back seats
Saying [Db] love will tear us apart
It's a [Ab] quarter past midnight
Still a four [Db] and eight tomorrow
It's a [Ab] quarter past midnight
But we're just [Db] letting go
We keep on [Ab] running, running through a [Eb] red light
Like we're [Fm] trying to burn the night [Db] away
Away, [Ab] away, [Eb] away, [Fm] away, away
[Db] So, if this is my [Ab] favorite part
[Eb] Help me [Fm] piece it all together [Db] darling
Before it [Ab] falls apart
[Eb] Help me piece it all [Ab] together
It's a quarter past midnight and the [Db] speakers are blowing
[Abm] Yeah, yeah, [Ab] we want the bodies on the billboards
Not the [Db] lives underneath them
Yeah, yeah, [Ab] and now we're crawling up the walls again
[Db] And it's a quarter past the well
[Ab] And you said we'd leave this place in dust
[Db] And fall from heaven straight to hell
We never [Ab] know what we have
We never knew what we had
[Db] We keep on [Ab] running, running through a [Eb] red light
Like we're [Fm] trying to burn the night [Db] away
Away, [Ab] away, [Eb] away, away, [Fm] away
[Db] Oh, why are we [Ab] always chasing after [Eb] something
Like we're trying [Fm] to throw our lives [Db] away
Away, [Ab] away, [Eb] away, [Fm] away, [Db] away
So, if this is my [Ab] favorite part
[Eb] Help me [Fm] piece it all together [Db] darling
Before it [Ab] falls apart
[Eb] Help me piece it all together
[Ab] It's a quarter
[Db] past [Ab]
[Fm] [Ab] midnight
And the [Db] secrets are flowing
[Ab] I'm used to getting used to
I don't [Db] know what I'm saying
We never [Fm] knew what we had
Never knew what I've had
[Db] We keep on [Ab] running, running through a [Eb] red light
Like we're [Fm] trying to burn the night [Db] away
Away, [Ab] [Eb] away, away, [Fm] away, away
[Db] Oh, why are we [Ab] always chasing after [Eb] something
Like we're [Fm] trying to throw our lives [Db] away
Away, [Ab] away, [Eb] away, away, [Fm] away
[Db] So, if this is my [Ab] favorite part
[Eb] Help me [Fm] piece it all together [Db] darling
Before it [Ab] falls [Eb] apart
Help me piece it all [Cm] together
[B] [Eb]
