[Verse]
E              D                  E    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    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

[E - E - D - A]x4
[Verse]
E           D                    E  E
A gunshot rings out at the station
E          D                G               B 
Another urchin snaps, and left dead on his own
E             D                    E    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

Dear Mother, Can you hear me laughing?
E               D                G                 B 
It's been six whole months since I have left your home

It makes me wonder why I'm still here
