Intro:  
Db Abm Bb Ab Bbm Absus4 Bbm 
 
verse 1 
Db          Bbm 
Memories consume 
Bbm 
Like opening the wound 
    Ab         Bbm 
I'm picking me apart again 
Db        Bbm 
You all assume 
 
I'm safe here in my room 
 Eb             Bbm 
Unless I try to start again 
Ebm 
I don't want to be the one 
Db Gb 
The battles always choose 
       Ebm 
'Cause inside I realize 
     Db             Gbm 
That I'm the one confused 
  Bbm                     Db 
I don't know what's worth fighting for 
   Fm 
Or why I have to scream 
  Bbm              Db 
I don't know why I instigate 
    Fm 
And say what I don't mean 
 Bbm               Db 
I don't know how I got this way 
            Fm 
I know it's not alright 
       Db    Gb     Db  Ab    Bbm 
So I'm breaking the habit tonight 
 
Bbm 
Clutching my cure 
Bbm 
I tightly lock the door 
Bbm 
I try to catch my breath again 
Bbm 
I hurt much more 
Bbm 
Than anytime before 
Bbm 
I had no options left again 
 
verse 2 
Ebm 
I don't want to be the one 
Db                 Gb 
The battles always choose 
       Ebm 
'Cause inside I realize 
    Dbsus4           Gb 
That I'm the one confused 
 
   Bbm                    Gbm 
I don't know what's worth fighting for 
   Db            Fm 
Or why I have to scream 
   Bbm             Db 
I don't know why I instigate 
    Fm 
And say what I don't mean 
  Bbm              Db 
I don't know how I got this way 
     Fm 
I'll never be alright 
       Db   Gb      Ab 
So I'm breaking the habit 
    Gb           Ebm Ab 
I'm breaking the habit tonight 
    Gb5          Abm   Bbm 
I'm breaking the habit tonight 
 
Outro 
Gb Db Abm Gb5 F5 Ab Bbm 
              And now you're gone forever
