G#
You look like shit so dear my brother
I missed you too, yeah you dumb stupid mother
 C#            G#           D#
Cheap welcome home sign, a bottle of red
    C#             G#          D#
At least you got freedom in an open out there
        G#
three cheers till the best of the rest we got left

If you could dream anything, what would that be?
If you could dream back, would you share it with me?
We carry our choices, we hide our regrets
We know there's a price, we'll both pay our debts
But maybe they ain't seen the last of us yet

Chorus:
       D#   G#         C#
'Cause old habits die hard
D#   G#         C#
Old habits die hard
            D#          G#
It might be painful to smile
       A#m          C#
But it covers the scars
    D#   C#        G#
And old habits die hard

There's a face in the mirror, but it don't look like me
Yesterday's gone, a rain drop in the sea
I have your back for each day that's gone by
And I'll still have it till the day that I die
Yeah, I'll still have it till the day that I die

Chorus

G#
Some day you'll be missed by
those you leave behind
And I hope you touched other
lives like you've touched mine

Chorus:
D#   G#         C#
Old habits die hard
D#   G#         C#
Old habits die hard
             D#          G#
It might be painful to smile
        C#
But it covers the scars
D#            G#              A#m          C#
Appearances change but don't change who we are
    D#   C#         G#
And old habits die hard
