[Verse]
FmI cannot spend another night in this home
CI close my eyes and take a breath real slow
DbThe consequence is if I leave I'm alone
CBut what's the difference when you beg for love?
[Pre-Chorus]
FmAs I run through glass in the Cstreet
Kerosene Dbhearts Bbmcarry the name that my father gave me
CAnd take the face of the wolf
[Chorus]
'Cause this is a Fmwasteland, my Dbonly reBbmtreat
With heaven Fmabove you, there's Dbhell over Bbmme
[Verse]
FmI met a girl who never looked so alone
CLike sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
DbShe tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
CWe fell in love and now we're both alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm'Cause I don't need any more Cfriends
DbAnd another kiss like a fire on pavement
CWe'll burn it down till the end
[Chorus]
This is a Fmwasteland, my Dbonly retBbmreat
With heaven Fmabove you, there's Dbhell over mBbme
[Refrain]
The water is Fmrusted, the air is unCclean.
And there for a Dbsecond I feel Bbmfree
This is  wFmasteland, my onDbly retrBbmeat
[Refrain]
FmI've waited aDbll this night to hBbmonor you and sCay,
"I know it's Fmhard, but Dbwho are you to Bbmfall apart on Cme, on me?"
[Chorus]
This is a Fmwasteland, my Dbonly retBbmreat
With heaven Fmabove you, there's Dbhell over mBbme
'Cause This is a Fmwasteland, my Dbonly retBbmreat
With heaven Fmabove you, there's Dbhell over mBbme
[Refrain]
You saFmid what about us, welCl, what about me?
Hang from the Dbgallows asleep in the Bbmrain
'Cause this is a Fmwasteland, my Dbonly reBbmtreat
