G
Don't bring the lights up,
A
don't ring the bell.
D
Once the whistle has blown,
GA
God only knows when we'll meet here again.
[Bridge 1]
BmA
Tell the band not to stop,
GD
Tell the curtain, don't drop,
G
Keep the bar stool King,
A
High on his throne!
[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna go Home,
Don't wanna leave till it's all said and done.
Guess I should have known,
I'd want to stay until we'd seen the sun.
[Bridge 2]
BmA
It's just the moment to make..
GD
This perfect mistake.
GA
Until we spend hours alone.
GAD
I don't want to go home.
GD
It's a matter of fact..
GD
You can never look back,
GA
It's a lesson that some never learn.
GD
But I won't forget it.
GD
I won't be caught treading,
GA
On the bridges that I myself burned
-KEY CHANGES FROM D TO E-
[Instrumental] (x2)
E, A, B
[Bridge 3]
AE
It's a matter of fact,
AE
You can never look back,
AB
It's a lesson that some never learn.
AE
But I won't forget it.
AE
I won't be caught treading,
AB
On the bridges that I myself burned.
[Chorus 3]
E
I don't wanna go home,
A
I've been gone forever,
B
I don't wanna face,
E
All the punches I've thrown,
AB
And all the wounded who fueled my escape.
[Bridge 4]
Tell the band not to stop,
Tell the curtain, don't drop,
Keep the bar stool King,
High on his throne!
'Cause somewhere in the dark
There's a well-broken heart,
Who's willing to cast the first stone.
[Outro]
(E, A, B)
I don't want to go home (x6)
