Rythem Guitarist:

I was a too lazy to do the strumming pattern, but it's relatively easy to
play. Just listen to the video stated above. Played at Mesoforte (mF)

      D (2 bars)    Asus 2 (2 bars)    Bm (2 bars)

      [Gsus]              [Bm]              [Asus2]

Lead Guitarist:

I didn't take the effort to tab Lead Guitarist after this, but it should be
played Palm Muted with similar notes to the Intro.

Rythem Guitarist:

From here on, just listen to the strumming pattern and catch on.
Everything is palm muted until the second-half of the verse.

             [D5] Brown eyes and lungs filled up with smoke
             [A5] Fast lives are stuck in the undertow
            [Bm5]   But you know the places I wanna go...[G5]

             Cause Oh Oh Oh[D] I've got a sickness you've got the cure[Asus2].
              You've got the spark I've been looking for. [Bm]
              And I've got a plan- We walk out the doo[Gsus2]r.

             You know you wanna [Bm]just let go
             It's time to r[Asus2]oll down the windows
             Singing O[Bm]h Oh Oh We got all we need so
             [Gsus2]Here we go.[Asus2]

             Turn it [D]up. It's Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You're coming home with [Bm]me tonight.
             [Gsus2]I can't get enough; shakin' me up. [Asus2]Turn it up!
             [D]Alright, at Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You'll see our name in c[Bm]ity lights.
             We'll m[Gsus2]ake the clock st[Bm]op; Make your h[Asus2]eart drop
             (NO CHORD)      (Riff played by Lead Guitarist)
             And come alive

Palm mute like Verse 1.

             We could, [D5]pack up and leave all our things beh[A5]ind
             No fast or fiction or storylin[Bm5]e.
             Cause I need you for more than just for [G5]tonight.
             You're Oh Oh [D]all I care
             I can't stop my breathin in[Asus2]
             I'm weak and you are my medicine[Bm].
             I won't stop 'till I am under you sk[Gsus2]in.

             You know you wanna [Bm]just let go
             It's time to r[Asus2]oll down the windows
             Singing O[Bm]h Oh Oh We got all we need so
             [Gsus2]Here we go.[Asus2]

             Turn it [D]up. It's Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You're coming home with [Bm]me tonight.
             [Gsus2]I can't get enough; shakin' me up. [Asus2]Turn it up!
             [D]Alright, at Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You'll see our name in c[Bm]ity lights.
             We'll m[Gsus2]ake the clock st[Bm]op; Make your h[Asus2]eart drop...

            (during the like 1.5 seconds between here and the Bridge,
             the D chord is strummed for 2 notes or so...
             I think...)

           Note- This part is played by Paul for Rythem.
           I'm not entirely sure it's what they played at
           Sprint Live Music Lounge, but it sounds accurate... at least...

           [Bm]  And when the clock strikes twleve
             Will you [Asus2]find another boy to go and kiss and tell
             Cause you [Bm]know, I[Asus2] never wil[Gsus2]l.
           [Bm]  I think we should strike a match
             And we'll [Asus2]hold it to the wind and see how long it'll last
             We can [Bm]make the tim[Asus2]e stand st[Gsus2]ill

           [D]   [D]   [D]   [D]

           To make this part sound really cool and all,
           try playing it at Mesopiano (mP) or Piano(P).

             Turn it [D]up. It's Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You're coming home with [Bm]me tonight.
             Gsus2                              (NO CHORD)
             I can't get enough; shakin' me up. Turn it up!

             [D]Alright, at Five Minutes to [Asus2]Midnight
             You'll see our name in c[Bm]ity lights.
             We'll m[Gsus2]ake the clock st[Bm]op; Make your h[Asus2]eart drop

Final Chorus:
             Turn it - [D]Just let go. It's time to [Asus2]just let go.
             It's time to [Bm]roll down the windows.
             [Gsus2]We'll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop. Turn it-
             [D]Just let go. It's time to [Asus2]just let go.
             It's time to [Bm]roll down the window; roll down the windows
             We'll [Gsus2]make the clock st[Bm]op; Make your h[Asus2]eart drop
             And c[D]ome alive.

Last few chords:

             [Bm]  [Asus2]  [Gsus2]  [D]

                               Martin: Thank You.

              And that's it.
              Just be reminded that this was tabbed out to directly
              replicate the performance at Sprint Live Music Lounge.
