[Verse 1]
       G
It's a quarter past midnight

      Em
As we cut through the city
Yeah yeah yeah
    G
The streets are getting restless

     Em
Good times bad decisions
Yeah yeah yeah
       G
It's a quarter past midnight

                   Em
And the sirens are mending some hearts

              G
But we're the losers on the back seats

                   Em
Singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

                    G
It's a quarter past midnight

                     Em
Still we're fighting tomorrow

                    G
It's a quarter past midnight

                       Em
But we're just getting going
[Chorus]
   C
We keep on running

G
Running through a red light

Bm                            Em
Like we're trying to burn the night away

 C      G     Bm     Em
Away -way oh away -way oh oh

C                   G
This is my favorite part oh

Bm                   Em
Help me piece it all together darling

C               G
Before it falls apart oh

Bm
Help me piece it all together
[Verse 2]
       G
It's a quarter past midnight

                     Em
And the speakers are blowing
Yeah yeah
            G
We want the bodies on the billboards

              Em
Not the lives underneath them
Yeah yeah yeah
              G
And now we're crawling up the walls again

          Em
And its a quarter past the world

        G
And you said we'd leave this place in dust

              Em
And fall from heaven straight through hell
[Pre-Chorus]
                      G
We never know what we have

                      Em
We never knew what we had
[Chorus]
   C
We keep on running

G
Running through a red light

Bm                            Em
Like we're trying to burn the night away

 C      G     Bm     Em
Away -way oh away -way oh oh

C                 G
Why are we always chasing after something

Bm                          Em
Like we trying to throw our lives away

 C      G     Bm     Em
Away -way oh away -way oh oh

C                   G
This is my favorite part oh

Bm                   Em
Help me piece it all together darling

C               G
Before it falls apart oh

Bm
Help me piece it all together
[Bridge]
G
I can't remember

Em
I can't remember

G
I can't remember

Em
I can't remember

       G
It's a quarter past midnight

                    Em
And the secrets are flowing

    G
Our lips are getting looser

                  Em
I don't know what I'm saying
We never knew what we had I never know what I've had [Chorus]

We keep on running
