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)
