[Intro]
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2 G Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooooh
[Verse 1]
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
Fm Cmaj7 (Gm7)And tonight had something wonderful
[Chorus 1]
Fm Cmaj7My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
Csus2Conversations with a stranger I barely know
G Fm Cmaj7Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
Gm7 CI got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do
Fm Cmaj7My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
Csus2And I know I'll lose control of the things that I say
G Fm Cmaj7Yeah I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
Gm7Nothin' happens after two, it's true
C FmIt's true my bad habits lead to you
[Post-Chorus 1]
Cmaj7 Csus2Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
G FmMy bad habits lead to you

G FmMy bad habits lead to you
[Verse 2]
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2Evеry pure intention ends when the good times start
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2Fallin' over everything to reach the first time's spark
Fm Cmaj7 Csus2It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
Fm Cmaj7 Gm7I only know how to Go too far
[Chorus 2]
Fm Cmaj7My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
Csus2Conversations with a stranger I barely know
G Fm Cmaj7Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't
Gm7 CI got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do
Fm Cmaj7My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin' at space
Csus2And I know I'll lose control of the things that I say
G Fm Cmaj7Yeah I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape
Gm7Nothin' happens after two, it's true
C FmIt's true my bad habits lead to you
[Post-Chorus 2]
