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