[Verse 1]
EmI cannot spend another night in this home
B7I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
CThe consequence is if I leave I'm alone
B7But what's the difference when you beg for love?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
CauseEm I run through glass in the B7street (kerosene hearts)
CCarry the name that my father gave me
B7And take the face of the wolf
[Chorus]
Cause this is a Emwasteland, my Conly reA7treat
With heaven aEmbove you, there's Chell over A7me
[Verse 2]
EmI met a girl who never looked so alone
B7Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
CShe tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
B7We fell in love and now we're both alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
CauseEm I don't need any more B7friends
And Emanother kiss like a Cfire on pavement
B7We'll burn it down to the end
[Chorus]
Cause this is a Emwasteland, my Conly reA7treat
With heaven aEmbove you, there's hCell over A7me
The water is Emrusted, the air is unCclean
And there for a A7second I feel B7free
Cause this is a Emwasteland, my Conly reA7treat
[Bridge]
EmI've waited all this night to B7honor you and Dsay
"I know it's Emhard, but who are you to B7fall apart on Dme, on D7me?"
[Chorus]
Cause this is a Emwasteland, my Conly reA7treat
With heaven aEmbove you, there's Chell over A7me
You said what about Emus, well what about Cme?
Hang from the A7gallows, asleep in the B7rain
Cause this is a Emwasteland, my Conly A7retreat
[Outro]
EmParalyze me
Don't let me jump, don't let me A7fall
