Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Drum Intro
---> Play Riff 1 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
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 Riff 1 over:
Oh how I'd like to diffuse your time bomb anger
It's screaming danger danger this kind of world
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 Riff 1 over:
Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past Christmas
I deserved to be alone
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
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)
