Intro:

D#5 C#5 D#5
Dear Mother, can you hear me whining?
D#5 C#5
It's been three whole weeks
F#5 A#5
Since I have left your home
D#5 C#5 D#5
This sudden fear has left me trembling
D#5 C#5 F#5 A#5
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
F#5 A#5
And I'm feeling so alone
D#5 C#5
Pay attention to the cracked streets
C5 B5
And the broken homes
D#5 C#5 A#5
Some call it slums some call it nice
D#5 C#5
I want to take you through a wasteland
C5 B5 D# A#
I'd like to call my home
(no chords) D# D# C# G#
Welcome to Paradise
D#5 C#5 D#5
A gunshot rings out at the station
D#5 C#5 F#5 A#5
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
D#5 C#5 D#5
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
D#5 C#5
But for some strange reason it's now
F#5 A#5 F#5 A#5
Feeling like my home, and I'm never gonna go
D#5 C#5
Pay attention to the cracked streets
C5 B5
And the broken homes
D#5 C#5 A#5
Some call it slums some call it nice
D#5 C#5
I want to take you through a wasteland
C5 B5 D# A#
I'd like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise D#5 D#5 C#5 G#5 x4

Dear Mother, can you hear me laughing?
D#5 C#5
It's been six whole months since
F#5 A#5
I have left your home
D#5 C#5 D#5
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
D#5 C#5 F#5 A#5
But for some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
F#5 A#5
And I'm never gonna go...
D#5 C#5
Pay attention to the cracked streets
C5 B5
And the broken homes
D#5 C#5 A#5
Some call it slums some call it nice
D#5 C#5
I want to take you through a wasteland
C5 B5 D#5 A#5
I'd like to call my home
