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
