[Verse]Em
I cannot spend another night in this home
Cadd9
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
Cadd9
The consequence is if I leave I'm alone
E Am7
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
Em Cadd9 Em Cadd9
As I run through glass in the street
Dm C
Kerosene hearts
Am C Am C
Carry the name that my father gave me
Dm C
And take the face of the world
[Chorus] Em C A D
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
C Em C Am Cadd9
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
[Verse]E Cadd9 Am7
I met a girl who never looked so alone
Am Cadd9
Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
C
She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
Am E C G
We fell in love and now we're both alone
Em Am7
'Cause I don't need any more friends
C
And another kiss like a fire on pavement
Dm Am Cadd9
We'll burn it down till the end
[Chorus] Em C Am Cadd9
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
Em C A Cadd9
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
G Em G
The water is rusted, the air is unclean
Em A Em
And there for a second I feel free
Cadd9 Em C Am Cadd9
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
[Bridge]Em Cadd9 Em G
I waited all this night to honor you and say
C Cadd9 Am7 Cadd9 Em Cadd9
"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me"
Em Am C
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
Cadd9 Em C Cadd9
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
[Chorus] Em C Am Cadd9
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
Em C Am Cadd9
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
Em
You said "What about us well, what about me?"
E A E
Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain
Em A
