[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

Not the [Db] lives underneath them
