Stayin' Up Late

          E                  
I've been stayin up late just a thinkin about
        B              E
ways to get you off my mind
       A
I keep wanderin' around through all the lonely parts of town
           A                         E
To try and see if I might could ever find
         E
one last hope that I could cling to, in case I make the break through
    E       B              E 
and finally get you off my mind

A                D    A                        D    A
I tried givin up dreamin' But your memory kept schemin'
    A                                            E
and found all kind of ways to sneak back into my sleep
A                         D    A                                   D  A  
I finally quit talkin' to strangers out of fear there's always the danger
         A                                                B
They say hi, hello, or something else you might'a said to me
          E

I keep wanderin' around through all the lonely parts of town
           A                         E
to try and see If I might could ever find
         E  
one last hope that I could cling to In case I make the break through
    E       B              E
and finally get you off my mind

I swore to never get caught lookin' at a single picture that was tookin'
   A                                        E
of us or anywhere we ever went or ever even seen
        A              D A                                       D         A 
I don't dare watch the news cause the wrecks and the crashes can remind me too 
               A                                      E
that I used to ride around and go places in cars with you
