Welcome to Paradise

by Green Day

{intro}

/ E - D A /

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

Because now it seems that I am out here on my own

And I'm feeling so alone

/ E D E Esus4E / E D G B / 1st / 2nd / G B /

{refrain}

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes

Some call it the slums, some call it nice

I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home

Welcome to paradise

/ E G A C / E G B - / :||

A gunshot rings out at the station

Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own

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

{refrain}

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing?

It's been six whole months since that 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

{refrain}
