Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way

So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit

version 2
Tuning: D A D G B E
Tuning: Dropped D
Note: I know I have parts of the song that aren't played by
a guitar in the actual song, but you can still play it and it
sounds fine. Guitar III is optional, but it adds to the song
in my opinion.

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

version 7
Em
Memories consume
Em
Like opening the wound
Em D
I'm picking me apart again
Em
You all assume
Em C
I'm safe here in my room
Em D
Unless I try to start again
Em C
I don't want to be the one
D
The battles always choose
Em C
'Cause inside I realize
D
That I'm the one confused
Em C
I don't know what's worth fighting for
D
Or why I have to scream.
Em C
I don't know why I instigate
D
And say what I don't mean.
Em C
I don't know how I got this way
D
I know it's not alright.
C D
So I'm breaking the habit,
C D
I'm breaking the habit
Em
Tonight
Em C
Clutching my cure
Em
I tightly lock the door
C
I try to catch my breath again
Em C
I hurt much more
Em
Than anytime before
Em C
I had no options left again
Em C
I don't want to be the one
D
The battles always choose
Em C
'Cause inside I realize
D
That I'm the one confused
Em C
I don't know what's worth fighting for
D
Or why I have to scream.
Em C
I don't know why I instigate
D
And say what I don't mean.
Em C
I don't know how I got this way
D
I'll never be alright.
C D
So I'm breaking the habit,
C D
I'm breaking the habit
Em
Tonight
Em C
I'll paint it on the walls
Em C
Cause I'm the one that falls
Em C
I'll never fight again
Em C Em
And this is how it ends
Em C
I don't know what's worth fighting for
D
Or why I have to scream
Em C
But now I have some clarity
D
to show you what I mean
Em C
I don't know how I got this way
D
I'll never be alright
C D
So, I'm breaking the habit
C D
I'm breaking the habit
C D
I'm breaking the habit
Em
Tonight
