G
Don't bring the lights up, 
               A
don't ring the bell. 
                      D
Once the whistle has blown, 
          G                          A
God only knows when we'll meet here again.

[Bridge 1]
          Bm          A
Tell the band not to stop, 
          G              D
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]
              Bm        A
It's just the moment to make.. 
      G          D
This perfect mistake. 
G                      A
Until we spend hours alone. 
                    G    A     D
I don't want to go home.
       G         D
It's a matter of fact.. 
         G          D
You can never look back, 
       G                      A
It's a lesson that some never learn. 
    G            D
But I won't forget it. 
    G              D
I won't be caught treading, 
       G                      A
On the bridges that I myself burned

-KEY CHANGES FROM D TO E-

[Instrumental] (x2)
E, A, B

[Bridge 3]
        A        E
It's a matter of fact, 
        A          E
You can never look back, 
        A                      B
It's a lesson that some never learn. 
    A           E
But I won't forget it. 
   A               E
I won't be caught treading, 
       A                     B
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, 
             A                       B
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)
