The closing song on GBS's 2010 album, Safe Upon The Shore. A fabulous, underrated
song in my opinion!
[Chorus 1]
(N.C.) D
I don't wanna go home,
Don't bring the Glights up,
don't ring the Abell.
Once the whistle has bDlown,
God only kGnows when we'll meet here aAgain.
[Bridge 1]
Tell the bBmand not to sAtop,
Tell the cGurtain, don't dDrop,
Keep the Gbar stool King,
High on his thArone!
[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]
It's just the Bmmoment to Amake..
This pGerfect mistDake.
GUntil we spend hours alAone.
I don't want to go hGome. A D
It's a Gmatter of Dfact..
You can nGever look bDack,
It's a Glesson that some never Alearn.
But GI won't forgeDt it.
I woGn't be caught tDreading,
On the Gbridges that I myself bAurned
-KEY CHANGES FROM D TO E-
[Instrumental] (x2)
E, A, B
[Bridge 3]
It's a mAatter of Efact,
You can Anever look Eback,
It's a lAesson that some never lBearn.
But AI won't forgEet it.
I wAon't be caught tEreading,
On the Abridges that I myself Bburned.
[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna go Ehome,
I've been gone foreAver,
I dBon't wanna face,
All the punches I've Ethrown,
And all the wAounded who fueled my escBape.
[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)
