Verse 1:
Ab          Bb               Eb
It's about time you made a choice
                             
of when you're coming over 
Ab       Bb              Eb
I asked you a long time ago,
                          
but still there's no word 
Ab               Bb                   Eb
Of when you'll leave your friends for me

In the itinerary 
Ab                  Bb              Eb    Ab Bb
there's a thousand places we could meet 
  Ab          Bb                Eb
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France,
 
or Columbus, Ohio
   Ab        Bb      Eb
Australia, London, Tokyo
                       
but still you say no! 
Ab       Bb                Eb
I don't care, but need to know 

when you'll join me out on the road
 Ab           Bb             Eb    Ab Bb
What will it take for you to go,
 
Chorus:
Eb           C
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
Eb           C
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin' 
Eb    Ab
Try, try to stay awake
Eb    Ab
Try, try to stay awake
Eb    Ab                Eb
Try, try to stay awake 
                             Ab Bb
But you just keep sleeping    
            Eb        Ab Bb
You keep sleeping  

Verse 2:
Ab          Bb              Eb
It's about time you came to me 

I'm always crying to you
 Ab       Bb                Eb
One last shot I can try to do,
 
out of desperation! 
Ab                Bb            Eb
Send an airline ticket to your home 

But you probably won't show,
Ab          Bb              Eb    Ab Bb
waiting at JFK with little hope

Chorus:
Eb           C
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
Eb           C
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin' 
Eb    Ab
Try, try to stay awake
Eb    Ab
Try, try to stay awake
Eb    Ab                Eb
Try, try to stay awake 
                             Ab Bb
But you just keep sleeping    
            Eb        Ab Bb
You keep sleeping

You're not tryin'
