P.S.: I find it really difficult to 
express timings through tabs ... so 
I've placed the
of each word under it only so that 
one who knows the tune can pick it 
up easily ...


Verse1: Riff1 stops ... Riff2 
continues ... +

   Em                    G        
   Memories consume like opening 
   Em        G           Em
the wound I'm picking me apart again

I heard much more than anytime 
before I have no options left again

Chorus2: Tabs & Chords same as

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
