Intro:
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2 A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
Verse 1:
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
Bm Dmaj7 N.C.
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

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
Bm
My bad habits lead to you
Verse 2:
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
Evеry pure intention ends when the good times start
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
Fallin' over everything to reach the first time's spark
Bm Dmaj7 Gsus2
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
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

Yeah I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
Em7
Nothin' happens after two, it's true

It's true my bad habits lead to you

We took the long way 'round

And burned 'til the fun ran out, now
