--Capo 3rd Fret--
[Em7]Drink up, baby, s[C]tay up all night.
With the th[G]ings you could do,
You w[B7]on't but you might.
The pot[Em7]ential you'll be,
That yo[C]u'll never see,
The pr[G]omises yo[G7]u'll only m[C]ake.
Drink [Em7]up with me now,
And forg[C]et all about
The pre[G]ssure of days.
[B7]Do what I say,
And I'll m[Em7]ake you okay,
And dr[C]ive them away
The i[G]mages st[G7]uck in your [C]head
C D *
People you've been before
That you d[C]on't w[D]ant ar[Em]ound an[Em/C#]ymore?
C D *
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
[C] I?ll keep them s[Cm]till.
[Em7]Drink up, baby, lo[C]ok at the stars.
I'll k[G]iss you again
[B7]Between the bars,
Where I'm se[Em7]eing you there,
With your ha[C]nds in the air,
[G]Waiting to fi[B7]nally be ca[C]ught.
Drink [Em7]up one more time,
And I[C]'ll make you mine.
[G]Keep you apart,
[B7]Deep in my heart,
Separa[Em7]te from the rest,
Where I l[C]ike you the best,
And ke[G]ep the t[B7]hings you fo[C]rgot.
C D *
The people you've been before
That you d[C]on't w[D]ant ar[Em]ound an[Em/C#]ymore?
C D *
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
[C] I'll keep them st[Cm]ill.
[Em7]
* Riff to be played when indicated
