Lyrics/Song Structure:

======================

---> Drum Intro

---> Play Riff 1 - A over:

Life could slip away in absent minded numbness

I'm only sayin this 'cuz I wish for the best

When you always stay in self-incarceration

---> Play Riff 1 - B over:

I think it's such a shame

---> Play Chorus over:

Don't stay home this time now don't stay home

If he don't have to he don't want to

Don't stay home this time no don't say no

---> Play Chorus - B (x1)

---> Play Riff 1 - A over:

Oh how I'd like to diffuse your time bomb anger

It's screaming danger danger this kind of world

---> Play Riff 1 - B over:

Don't care if you're home so you better get some

---> Play Chorus over:

Don't stay home this time now don't stay home

If he don't have to he don't want to

Don't stay home this time no don't say no

---> Play Chorus - B (x1)

---> Play Riff 1 - A over:

Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss

Because I sat alone on this past Christmas

I deserved to be alone

---> Play Riff 1 - B over:

But I guess I should have gone home

---> Play Bridge A (x1)

---> Play Bridge B over:

Hey don't break the mold kid just eat around it

Yeah that's what I did

I'll be runnin around the block

For no apparent reason

Somethin' you'll catch me doin' in any given season

Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out

Buddy bye bye bye bye

Good-bye to the drought - yeah

---> Drum interlude

---> Play Chorus over:

Don't stay home this time now don't stay home

If he don't have to he don't want to

Don't stay home this time no don't say no

---> Play Chorus - B (x1)

Don't stay home this time now don't stay home

If he don't have to he don't want to

Don't stay home this time no don't stay home

---> End on E5 (022xxx)
