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?
Fm                            C
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]
                 Fm            C#     A#m
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
            Fm                 C#        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
Fm                           C
'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
          Fm            C#      A#m
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
            Fm                 C#         A#m
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
             Fm                   C
The water is rusted, the air is unclean.
                C#            A#m
And there for a second I feel free
          Fm             C#     A#m
This is  wasteland, my only retreat
Fm           C#                A#m           C
I've waited all this night to honor you and say,
             Fm        C#             A#m           C
"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?"
          Fm            C#      A#m
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
            Fm                 C#         A#m
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
                 Fm            C#      A#m
'Cause This is a wasteland, my only retreat
            Fm                 C#         A#m
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
      Fm                   C
You said what about us, well, what about me?
              C#                    A#m
Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain
                 Fm            C#     A#m
