Hard To Stay Awake

Tom: E

  E  
(vers)  
  E                                    B  
  It takes a lifetime just to make it work  
            A  
maybe universal  
           C#m7  
Atoms go berserk  
                   B  
Inside my little brain  
                  A  
Prefer to stay insane,  
                        E  
Than to walk the narrow lane,  
                   B  
I've seen it all before  

(ref.)  
                       A  
Then fall at sleep at night  
                 C#m7  
Forget you had a fight  
                        B  
you're friends the next day  

                    A                     E  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
                   B  
It's hard to stay awake  
                   A                      E  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
                   B                      E  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  

It's not easy to make a new friend  
It's easy to pretend  
but it's hard to make a friend  
unless you are a child  
I'd like to be a child  
a child running wild  
with lots (of) places to hide  


Then I fall asleep at night  
Forget you had a fight  
your friends the next day  

Create for me a little open space  
I need it just in case  
I have to make a hit  
then I might need it  
A little green lawn  
Where game could play on  
and we could be children  

Then I fall asleep at night  
Forget you had a fight  
your friends the next day  

It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
It's hard to stay awake  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
It's hard to stay awake  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
It's hard to stay awake  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day  
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
