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  



Bridge: G# A# D# x4 then G#(Ring) D# G#

D#    G#

Try, try to stay awake 

D#    G#                 D#

Try, try to stay awake 



But, you just keep sleeping 

D#    G#

Try, try to stay awake 

D#    G#     

Try, try to stay awake 

D#    G#                 D#
