(F Bb F Cm7)
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.

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.
