Chords

[Verse 1]
Em
I cannot spend another night in this home

B7
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow

C
The consequence is if I leave I'm alone

B7
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
     Em                          B7
Cause I run through glass in the street (kerosene hearts)

C
Carry the name that my father gave me

B7
And take the face of the wolf
[Chorus]
                Em            C      A7
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

             Em                C         A7
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
[Verse 2]
Em
I met a girl who never looked so alone

B7
Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm

C
She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue

B7
We fell in love and now we're both alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
     Em                     B7
Cause I don't need any more friends

    Em                  C
And another kiss like a fire on pavement

B7
We'll burn it down to the end
[Chorus]
                Em            C      A7
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

             Em                 C        A7
With heaven above you, there's hell over me

             Em                   C
The water is rusted, the air is unclean

                A7            B7
And there for a second I feel free

                Em            C      A7
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
[Bridge]
Em                            B7            D
I've waited all this night to honor you and say

             Em                       B7            D      D7
"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?"
[Chorus]
                Em            C      A7
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

             Em                C         A7
With heaven above you, there's hell over me

                    Em                  C
You said what about us, well what about me?

              A7                     B7
Hang from the gallows, asleep in the rain

                Em            C    A7
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
[Outro]
Em
Paralyze me

                                A7
Don't let me jump, don't let me fall
