The closing song on GBS's 2010 album, Safe Upon The Shore. A fabulous, underrated
song in my opinion!
[Chorus 1]
(N.C.) C
I don't wanna go home,
Don't bring the Flights up,
don't ring the Gbell.
Once the whistle has bClown,
God only kFnows when we'll meet here aGgain.
[Bridge 1]
Tell the bAmand not to sGtop,
Tell the cFurtain, don't dCrop,
Keep the Fbar stool King,
High on his thGrone!
[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 Ammoment to Gmake..
This pFerfect mistCake.
FUntil we spend hours alGone.
I don't want to go hFome. G C
It's a Fmatter of Cfact..
You can nFever look bCack,
It's a Flesson that some never Glearn.
But FI won't forgeCt it.
I woFn't be caught tCreading,
On the Fbridges that I myself bGurned
-KEY CHANGES FROM D TO E-
[Instrumental] (x2)
D, G, A
[Bridge 3]
It's a mGatter of Dfact,
You can Gnever look Dback,
It's a lGesson that some never lAearn.
But GI won't forgDet it.
I wGon't be caught tDreading,
On the Gbridges that I myself Aburned.
[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna go Dhome,
I've been gone foreGver,
I dAon't wanna face,
All the punches I've Dthrown,
And all the wGounded who fueled my escAape.
[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]
(D, G, A)
I don't want to go home (x6)
