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.
"I Lie Awake"
(Gerry VanKollenburg - Ray Graffia)

Verse 1:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/new_colony_six/i_lie_awake_crd.html )
[A]I lie aw[G]ake counting my t[A]ime
A breaking hea[C]rt, a troubled mi[D]nd
A mournful s[E]oul which I have si[D]gn[(2/4)]ed away
I w[A]ant my l[G]ove b[A]ack
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:
Y[A]ou... live in a l[G]onely world
Now y[A]ou...'ll never be al[G]one, girl
Bridge:
A[A]hh [C/G]ahh [D/F#]ahh a[E]hh
Y[A]ou and[G/A] I-i[A]
Will[C/G] be together 'til the e[C]nd of [G/B]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
[A]
[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/]
Refrain 2:
Life... was so carefree
But you... never really cared for me
Instrumental break:
