From _Blitz_ 23, 11/77:

Mike McDowell: I hope you know what I`m referring to, but would you
consider George Gershwin a major influence?

Ray Graffia: You mean the fact that we stole `Rhapsody In Blue`?

MM: Exactly! Of course I`m thinking of the `I Lie Awake` single.

RG: We sang `Rhapsody In Blue` in the high school chorus, and we
liked it enough to transform it into one of our own songs.

Verse 1:

A G A
I lie awake counting my time

A mournful soul which I have signed away

I want my love back

Verse 2:

I lie awake in love this time
No broken heart, no troubled mind
No mournful soul, I`m treated fine `cause now
I`ve got my love back

Refrain 1:

A G
You... live in a lonely world
A G
Now you...`ll never be alone, girl

Bridge:

A C/G D/F E
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

A G/A A
You and I-i
C/G C G/B
Will be together `til the end of time
You and I-i
Will be together and you`ll be mine
You and I-i
The stars, the sun, and the moon will shine

A

Just we two-oo
I didn`t know what they all knew
I was fooled
Couldn`t believe what you were doin`
I was true
You know I wish that you were too

Life... was so carefree
But you... never really cared for me
