[Intro]
E E D A x4

[Verse]
E                       D                               E
Dear Mother, Can you hear me whining?
E                       D                   G                          B
It's been 3 whole weeks since I have left your home
E                      D                               E
This sudden fear has left me trembling
E                       D                      G                       B
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
  G                             B
And I'm feeling all alone...

[Chorus]
E                   G                               A                          C
Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes
E                               G                  B
Some call it slums, some call it nice...
E                     G                                    A
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my
C       E B
home.......Welcome to Paradise

[Verse]
E                 D                              E
A gunshot rings out at the station
E                D                       G                       B
Another urchin snaps, and left dead on his own
E                       D                           E
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
E                                D                       G                  B
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
                  G               B
And I'm never gonna go...

[Chorus]
E                    G                               A                           C
Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes
E                                G                B
Some call it slums, some call it nice...
E                      G                                   A
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my
C        E B
home.......Welcome to Paradise

It's been six whole months since I have left your home

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go...
