Em
I cannot spend another night in this home

I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
C9
The consequence is if I leave I'm alone
E
Am7
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
Em

As I run through glass in the street

Kerosene hearts

Carry the name that my father gave me
Dm

And take the face of the world

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat

I met a girl who never looked so alone
Am

Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
C
She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
Am
E

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
C9
We'll burn it down till the end

The water is rusted, the air is unclean

And there for a second I feel free

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

I waited all this night to honor you and say

"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me"
Em

This is a wasteland, my only retreat

You said "What about us well, what about me?"

Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain
