[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
Verse 1
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
[Bm] [Dmaj7] ([Em7])
And tonight had something wonderful
Chorus 1
[Bm] [Dmaj7]
My bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone
[Gsus2]
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
[A] [Bm] [Dmaj7]
Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
[Em7] [G]
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do
[Bm] [Dmaj7]
My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
[Gsus2]
And I know I'll lose control of the things that I say
[A] [Bm] [Dmaj7]
Yeah I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
[Em7]
Nothin' happens after two, it's true
[G] [Bm]
It's true my bad habits lead to you
[Post-Chorus 1]

Verse 2
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
EvŠµry pure intention ends when the good times start
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
Fallin' over everything to reach the first time's spark
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Gsus2] [A]
It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
[Bm] [Dmaj7] [Em7]
I only know how to go too far
Chorus 2
[Bm] [Dmaj7]
My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone

Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
[Em7] [G]
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do
[Bm] [Dmaj7]
My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
[Gsus2]
And I know I'll lose control of the things that I say
[A] [Bm] [Dmaj7]
Yeah I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
[Em7]
Nothin' happens after two, it's true
[G] [Bm]
It's true my bad habits lead to you

And burned 'til the fun ran out, now
