I:
Am D
Open up your tired eyes
G G/F# Em
And force yourself to smile
Am D
Yesterday was yesterday
G Am
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
G Am
It's here, it's tomorrow now
G A7
Now I must go
Am G
But I'll see you again
CHORUS:
Am D
When? Oh when?
G G/F# Em
Please don't ask me when
Am D
I'll call, I'll write
G Am
But I can not stay here tonight
G Am
No, I can not stay here tonight
G Am
I can't stay here tonight
II:
Am D
Light me up a cigarette
G G/F# Em
And check that my bags are packed
Am D
Something I was gonna say
G Am
It's gone - till another time
G Am
But how long till that other time
G A7
I hate to go
Am G
But I'll be back again
CHORUS:
Am D
When? Oh when?
G G/F# Em
Please don't ask me when
Am D
I'll call, I'll write
G Am
But I can not stay here tonight
G Am
No, I can not stay here tonight
G Am
I can't stay here tonight
III:
Am D
Open up your tired eyes

And force yourself to smile
Am D

G Am
It's here, it's tomorrow now
G A7
Now I must go
Am G
But I'll see you again
CHORUS:
Am D
When? Oh when?
G G/F# Em
Please don't ask me when
