[Verse 1]
Em7 C
Drink up, baby, stay up all night.
G
With the things you could do,
B7
You won't but you might.
Em7
The potential you'll be,
C
That you'll never see,
G B7 C
The promises you'll only make.
Em7
Drink up with me now,
C
And forget all about
G
The pressure of days.
B7
Do what I say,
Em7
And I'll make you okay,
C
And drive them away
G B7 C
The images stuck in your head
[Chorus]
C D *
People you've been before
C D Em Em/C#
That you don't want around anymore—
C D *
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
C Cm
I’ll keep them still.
[Verse 2]
Em7 C
Drink up, baby, look at the stars.
G
I'll kiss you again
B7
Between the bars,
Em7
Where I'm seeing you there,
C
With your hands in the air,
G B7 C
Waiting to finally be caught.
Em7
Drink up one more time,
C
And I'll make you mine.
G
Keep you apart,
B7
Deep in my heart,
Em7
Separate from the rest,
C
Where I like you the best,
G B7 C
And keep the things you forgot.
[Chorus]
C D *
The people you've been before
C D Em Em/C#
That you don't want around anymore—
C D *
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
C Cm
I'll keep them still.
Em7
