Intro:  Bm Dmaj7 G G - x2

Bm
Every time you come around,
Dmaj7               G     G
you know I can't say no
Bm                          Dmaj7
Every time the sun goes down,
                 G        G
I let you take control
Bm                    Dmaj7
I can feel the paradise
                 G      G
Before my world implodes
      Bm              Dmaj7        Em
And tonight I had something wonderful

Chorus:
    G   A              Bm                   D
My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
      F#m               G
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
           A               Bm                   D
Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
       F#m             Em               G
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do

        A              Bm                    D
My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
       F#m                G
And I know I'll lose control
of the things that I say
       A            Bm                      D
I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
         F#m           Em                    G
Nothin' happens after two, it's true, it's true
        A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you

             Dmaj7             G
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
        A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
             Dmaj7             Em
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
G        A              Bm
 My bad habits lead to you

Bm                      Dmaj7                G     G
Every pure intention ends when the good times start
 Bm                   Dmaj7
Fallin' over everything to reach
              G       G
the first-time spark
    Bm                     Dmaj7
It started under neon lights and then it
       G        G
all got dark
  Bm         D             Em
I only know how to go too far

Chorus:
    G   A              Bm                   D
My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
      F#m               G
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
           A               Bm                   D
Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
       F#m             Em               G
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do

        A              Bm                    D
My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
       F#m                G
And I know I'll lose control
of the things that I say
       A            Bm                      D
I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
         F#m           Em                    G
Nothin' happens after two, it's true, it's true
        A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you

             Dmaj7             G
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
        A              Bm
My bad habits lead to you
             Dmaj7             Em   G   A
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

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

Chorus:
        A              Bm                   D
My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
      F#m               G
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
           A               Bm                   D
Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
       F#m             Em               G
I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do

        A              Bm                    D
My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
       F#m                G
And I know I'll lose control
of the things that I say
       A            Bm                      D
I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
         F#m           Em                    G
Nothin' happens after two, it's true, it's true
        A              Bm
