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 



[Refrão]
                 Em            C       A      D    
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat 
     C      Em                 C         Am 
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 



[Refrão]
          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 



[Refrão]
                 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 
'Cause This is a wasteland, my only retreat
