Verse 1: 
D 
Brown eyes and lungs 
                 A 
filled up with smoke 
                                     Cm 
fast lives are stuck in the undertow 
                                 A 
but you know the places I wanna go 
           D 
'Cause oh oh oh! 
                                      A 
I've got a sickness, you've got the cure 
                                        Em 
you've got the spark I've been looking for 
                                       A 
and I've got a plan, we walk out the door 
 
You know you wanna...

G                           D 
Just let go! It's time to roll down the windows! 
          G     Em 
Sing it, oh oh oh! Got all we need 
G           A 
So here we go! 
 
 Chorus: 
         D                         A   D 
Turn it up! It's five minutes to midnight 
         C               A    G 
You're coming home with me tonight!

I can't get enough, shaking me up, turn it up!

All right, at five minutes to midnight 
                     A     G 
You see our name in city lights!

We'll make the clock stop, make you heart drop 
                       G 
And come alive.  
 
Verse 2:  
              D                                 A 
We could... pack up and leave all our things behind 
                                Em 
No fact or fiction or storyline

                D 
You're oh oh, all I care 
                        A 
I can't stop my breathing 
 
I'm weak and you are my medicine 
Em                                 A 
I won't stop till I am under your skin 
 
You know you wanna... (Repeat Chorus) 
 
Bridge: 
D 
Even when the clock strikes twelve 
           G 
Will you find another boy, to go and kiss and tell? 
       D         A      G 
'Cause you know, I never will. 
D 
I think we should strike a match 
               G 
And we'll hold it to the wind to see how long it lasts 
         D        A          G 
We can make the time stand still... (Repeat Chorus)

And come alive!
