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


Post-Chorus 1:
      Dmaj7        Gsus2
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
           Bm
My bad habits lead to you
      Dmaj7          Gsus2
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
            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 2:
      Dmaj7        Gsus2
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
           Bm
My bad habits lead to you
      Dmaj7          Gsus2
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh


Bridge:
D      F#m    G
We took the long way 'round
  D        F#m   Em7
And burned 'til the fun ran out, now


Chorus 3:
           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 3:
      Dmaj7        Gsus2
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
           Bm
My bad habits lead to you
      Dmaj7          Gsus2
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
           Bm
My bad habits lead to you
