easier acoustic version with capo on 2nd fret .
not 100% sure about the chords but this sounds pretty fine to me .
capo 2nd
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
chorus :
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
chorus :
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
chorus :
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
