Breaking the Habit

Intro: Em, C, Bm, Bm (Play 2 times) 

Em (riff) 
Memories consume 
Em 
Like opening the wound 
Em 
I'm picking me apart again 
Em 
You all assume 
Em 
I'm safer in my room 
Em 
Unless I try to start again 

 
Am7 
I don't want to be the one 
C 
The battles always choose 
C               Am7
Cause inside I realize 
Am7 
That I'm the one confused 


Em                               C 
I don't know what's worth fighting for 
   Bm  
Or why I have to scream 
Em                     C 
I don't know why I instigate 
   Bm 
And say what I don't mean 
Em                        C 
I don't know how I got this way 
Bm 
I know it's not alright 
C                     D 
So I'm breaking the habit 
C                 D      Em 
I'm breaking the habit tonight 


Em   D       Em
Clutching my cure  
Em         G     Em
I tightly lock the door 
D                   Em   G
I try to catch my breath again 
Em D      Em
I hurt much more 
Em      G    Em
Than anytime before 
D                 Em  G
I have no options left again 

 
C              Am7
I dont want to be the one 
C 
The battles always choose 
C                Am7
Cause inside I realize 
C 
That I'm the one confused 


Em                               C 
I don't know what's worth fighting for 
   Bm

And say what I don't mean 
Em                        C

 Em                   D/F#      
I'll paint it on the walls 
G                    Am 
Cuz I'm the one that falls 
Em                   D/F# 
I'll never fight again 
G                  A5 
And this is how it ends
