[Intro]
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]
            Dmaj7                Gsus2
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
       A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
            Dmaj7                  Em7   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oooh
       A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                     Dmaj7                 Gsus2   A
Evеry 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
                     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
       A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
            Dmaj7                  Em7   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oooh
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm          Dmaj7  F#m  G      A
We took the long   way 'round
    Bm              Dmaj7  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
       A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
            Dmaj7                  Em7   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oooh
       A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
