A D A D
[Verse 1]
A            G
  Old habits
D            G
  Die hard
A            G              D
  You saw me crawling out into my car
A            G              D
  You always knew I'd never get too far
       G                       E
  So I guess I'll just see you at home
[Verse 2]

  Old habits
D            G
  No rest
A            G            D
  And I just can't exterminate these pests
A             G               D
  Something's telling me it's for the best
       G                            E
  And they're never gonna leave me alone
[Chorus]
D         A
  Tell me again
             E D
  That I won't feel
     A
  Anything
             G
  That I can deal with
D
  Just give me credit
    F#
  A local anesthetic
           G       E
  And I'll feel no pain
           E
  I'm so pathetic now
[Verse 3]
A            G
  Old habits
D            G
  Won't go
A          G             D
  I'm only human so what do I know
A           G                   D
  Sit on my hands while I don't pick up the phone
      G           E
  But here we go again
[Chorus]
D              A
  Tell me your lies
               E
  I'll come up with the
D    A
  Alibies
             G
  I'm famous for it
D
  Just give me something
     F#
  To make me feel nothing
      G         E
  And name your price
                E
  You know I'll pay for it
[Bridge]

  Don't be a stray 
        C-B-Bb A

  Don't leave me alone

A            G
  Old habits
D            G
  No brakes
A          G            D
  The only pedal here accelerates
A            G          D
  The lonely wagon is a runaway
          G                     E
  And I'm staring at the hazard lights
[Solo]

A               G      D
Old cold habits got me running blind
A        G                D
  Turkey chasing chickens in my mind
A         G               D
  When it catches up it's gonna find
       G               E
  The old habits never die
[Chorus]

  Tell me again
