Green Day
A, B, Bm, C, D, E, Em, G
Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
'Cause now it seems that I am out there on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dad on his own
He 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
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland, I'd like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
