G
D
verse 1
D D5 D D5
All the fear and the fire of the end of the world
D D5 D D5
Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl
G
Happens great, happens sweet
D
Happily, I'm unfazed here, too
D Bm A
Wasteland, baby
G Em D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
verse 2
D D5 D D5
All the things yet to come are the things that have passed
D D5 D D5
Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass
G D
Like the bonfire that burns, at all worth in the fight fell too
D Bm A
Wasteland, baby
G Em D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
D
And I love too, that love soon might end
Em
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
D
Lately of my wasteland, baby
D Em
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
D
That's just wasteland, baby
verse 3
D D5 D D5
And that day that we watch the death of the sun
D D5 D D5
That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on
G D
And you gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins
D Bm A
Wasteland, baby
G Em D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
D
And I love too, that love soon might end
Em
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
D
Lately of my wasteland, baby
D Em
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
D
That's just wasteland, baby
Bridge
D D5 D D5
And the stench of the sea and the absence of green
D D5 D D5
Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen
G D
Not an end, but the start of all things that are left to do
D Bm
Wasteland, baby
G Em D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
That's it
