This is the bare bones of the song very simple and straight. The main riff
is the only pain. It comes with a little practice but is easy once you get
that fluid sound that Steve uses.
Lyrics
This is not the first time — you tried to get away.
This is not a party — where people know your name.
This is not a classroom — with teacher at the board.
This is not a cat show — with prizes at the door.
|Chorus|
Go — Don’t you go.
Won’t you stay with me one more day.
If we get through one more night.
If we get through one more night.
This is not a horse race — where winner beats the time.
This is not a funeral — with mourners in a line.
This is not a sitcom — where everything’s alright.
This is not a prison — with terror through the night.
|Chorus|
