G       Am     D      C
GStay, I wish I could stayAm  
You could call in sickD  
We could makeout all dayC  
Or maybe take the dog for a walkG  
Have a picnic by the waterAm  
Just there and talkD  
But not a word about the futureC  
No I don't wanna go homeG  
G       Am     D      C
                                                        G       Am     D      C
Wish I didn't have to go home
I guess I could miss my flight
Say my cab got stuck in traffic
Couldn't make it on time
But I got left behind
I wish I didn't have to go home
I wish I could stay
If just for a day
I wish I could stay
No I don't wanna go homeBm  
When I've left?Bm  
we'll both be aloneAm  
can't be closer than over the phoneBm  
but the worst part of it allAm  
I don't know when I'll see you againG  D  C  
will I see you again?G  D  C  
No I don't wanna go home
I wish I didn't have to go home

G Am D C

G Am

Stay, I wish I could stay

You could call in sick

We could makeout all day

Or maybe take the dog for a walk

Have a picnic by the water

Just there and talk

But not a word about the future

No I don't wanna go home

G Am D C

Wish I didn't have to go home

I guess I could miss my flight

Say my cab got stuck in traffic

Couldn't make it on time

But I got left behind

I wish I didn't have to go home

I wish I could stay

If just for a day

I wish I could stay

No I don't wanna go home

When I've left?

we'll both be alone

can't be closer than over the phone

but the worst part of it all

G D C

I don't know when I'll see you again

G D C

will I see you again?

No I don't wanna go home

I wish I didn't have to go home
