Album: Seven More Minutes
Intro: C# A# G# ( Carries into verse )
Verse 1:
It's about time you made a choice
of when you're coming over
I asked you a long time ago,
but still there's no word
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary
there's a thousand places we could meet
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France,
or Columbus, Ohio
Australia, London, Tokyo
but still you say no!
I don't care, but need to know
when you'll join me out on the road
What will it take for you to go,
Chorus:
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
Verse 2:
It's about time you came to me
I'm always crying to you
One last shot I can try to do,
out of desperation!
Send an airline ticket to your home
But you probably won't show,
waiting at JFK with little hope
Chorus:
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
Bridge: x4 then (Ring)
Chorus:
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But, you just keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Or you'll just keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But, you just keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Or you'll just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
You're not tryin'
Keep sleepin'
You're not tryin'
