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.

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.

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.

Just the basic chords here, but it gets the idea across. Tune a half step down.

I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin’ with a dead man over my shoulder
I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin’ with a dead man over my shoulder

(Em, D) x4

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin’ to a party where no one’s still alive
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin’ to a party where no one’s still alive

I was struck by lightning
Walkin’ down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It’s a dead man’s party
Who could ask for more
Everybody’s comin’, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door
(Don’t run away it’s only me)

Verse chords here:
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin’ with a dead man (walkin’ with a dead man)
Waitin’ for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man (dead Man)

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin’ to my door
Says there’s room for maybe just one more

Chorus repeats here

Don’t run away it’s only me
Don’t be afraid of what you can’t see
Don’t run away it’s only me
