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#

Chorus: 
D#    G# 
Try, try to stay awake 
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#
Try, try to stay awake 

Or you'll just keep sleeping
 D#    G# 
Try, try to stay awake 
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#
Try, try to stay awake 
                             G# A#
Or you'll just keep sleeping
            D#
You keep sleeping 
            D#     G# A#
You're not tryin' 
        D#    G# A#
Keep sleepin' 
             D#
You're not tryin'
