Intro: C# A# G# ( Carries into verse )
Verse 1:
G#A#D#
It's about time you made a choice
of when you're coming over
G#A#D#
I asked you a long time ago,
but still there's no word
G#A#D#
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary
G#A#D#G#A#
there's a thousand places we could meet
G#A#D#
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France,
or Columbus, Ohio
G#A#D#
Australia, London, Tokyo
but still you say no!
G#A#D#
I don't care, but need to know
when you'll join me out on the road
G#A#D#G#A#
What will it take for you to go,
Chorus:
D#C
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
D#C
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
D#G#
Try, try to stay awake
D#G#
Try, try to stay awake
D#G#D#
Try, try to stay awake
G#A#
But you just keep sleeping
D#G#A#
You keep sleeping
Verse 2:
G#A#D#
It's about time you came to me
I'm always crying to you
G#A#D#
One last shot I can try to do,
out of desperation!
G#A#D#
Send an airline ticket to your home
But you probably won't show,
G#A#D#G#A#
waiting at JFK with little hope
Chorus:
D#C
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
D#C
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
D#G#
Try, try to stay awake
D#G#
Try, try to stay awake
D#G#D#
Try, try to stay awake
G#A#
But you just keep sleeping
D#G#A#
You keep sleeping
