Narrative:
I was very tired from the scheduled red-eye and maintenance delay. ATC gave me what I thought was a late runway change. I thought I changed the transition in the FMC; but realized I had not when ATC asked where I was headed after I missed the turn at zzzzz on the RNAV arrival into ZZZ. I had initially been given [runway] xxc. ATC gave us headings from that point on and vectored us on to ILS xxr.
