Rythem Guitarist:
-Performance Notes-
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)
Intro:
D (2 bars) Asus 2 (2 bars) Bm (2 bars)
Gsus (strum once) Bm (strum once) Asus2 (complete the last bar)
Lead Guitarist:
Verse:
-Performance Notes-
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:
-Performance Notes-
From here on, just listen to the strumming pattern and catch on.
Everything is palm muted until the second-half of the verse.
Brown eyes and lungs filled up with smoke
Fast lives are stuck in the undertow
Bm5
But you know the places I wanna go...
(Open chords from here) D Asus2
Cause Oh Oh Oh I ve got a sickness you ve got the cure.
You ve got the spark I ve been looking for.
Gsus2 (strum once)
And I ve got a plan- We walk out the door.
Pre-chorus:
You know you wanna just let go
It s time to roll down the windows
Singing Oh Oh Oh We got all we need so
Gsus2 Asus2 (after a few strums, mute guitar)
Here we go.
Chorus:
Turn it up. It s Five Minutes to Midnight
You re coming home with me tonight.
I can t get enough; shakin me up. Turn it up!
Alright, at Five Minutes to Midnight
You ll see our name in city lights.
We ll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop
(NO CHORD) (Riff played by Lead Guitarist)
And come alive
Verse 2:
-Performance Notes-
Palm mute like Verse 1.
We could, pack up and leave all our things behind
Bm5
No fast or fiction or storyline.
Cause I need you for more than just for tonight.
D (strum twice, don t let ring)
You re Oh Oh all I care
I can t stop my breathin in
I m weak and you are my medicine.
Gsus2 (strum once)
I won t stop till I am under you skin.
Pre-chorus:
You know you wanna just let go
It s time to roll down the windows
Singing Oh Oh Oh We got all we need so
Gsus2 Asus2 (same mute pattern as Verse 1)
Here we go.
Chorus:
Turn it up. It s Five Minutes to Midnight
You re coming home with me tonight.
I can t get enough; shakin me up. Turn it up!
Alright, at Five Minutes to Midnight
You ll see our name in city lights.
We ll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop...
(during the like 1.5 seconds between here and the Bridge,
the D chord is strummed for 2 notes or so...
I think...)
Bridge:
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...
And when the clock strikes twleve
Will you find another boy to go and kiss and tell
Cause you know, I never will.
I think we should strike a match
And we ll hold it to the wind and see how long it ll last
We can make the time stand still
Interlude:
.. .. .. ..
Chorus:
-Performance Notes-
To make this part sound really cool and all,
try playing it at Mesopiano (mP) or Piano(P).
Turn it up. It s Five Minutes to Midnight
You re coming home with me tonight.
Gsus2 (NO CHORD)
I can t get enough; shakin me up. Turn it up!
Alright, at Five Minutes to Midnight
You ll see our name in city lights.
We ll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop
Final Chorus:
Turn it - Just let go. It s time to just let go.
It s time to roll down the windows.
We ll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop. Turn it-
Just let go. It s time to just let go.
It s time to roll down the window; roll down the windows
We ll make the clock stop; Make your heart drop
D (strum once, let ring)
And come alive.
Last few chords:
, , ,
Martin: Thank You.
