Lyrics

[Intro]
| Gm7 | - | - | - |
| -   | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Gm7                Eb6add9
   Drink up, baby, stay   up all night
         Bb
With the things you could do,
      F6/A
you won't but you might

[Verse 2]
         Gm7                    Eb6add9
The potential you'll be that you'll    never see
    Bb       D7            Eb
The promises you'll only make

[Verse 3]
      Gm7                     Eb6add9
Drink up with me now and forget      all about
    Bb                F6/A
The pressure of days, do  what I say

[Verse 4]
           Gm7             Eb6add9
And I'll make you okay and drive  them away
    Bb     D7            Eb
The images stuck in your head

[Chorus]
Eb F6  Gm7         Bb/A Bb Bb/C   Bb/D
People you've been before that you
Ebm6/Gb F6      Gm/E
Don't   want around anymore
     Eb       F6              Gm7         Bb/A Bb  Bb/C Bb/D
That push and shove and won't bend to your     will
Eb               Ebm
  I'll keep them still

[Verse 5]
Gm7                Eb6add9
   Drink up, baby, look   at the stars
       Bb            F6/A
I'll kiss you again, between the bars

[Verse 6]
          Gm7
Where I'm seeing you there,
             Eb6add9
with your hands     in the air
Bb         D7         Eb
Waiting to finally be caught

[Verse 7]
       Gm7                    Eb6add9
Drink up  one more time and I'll     make you mine
Bb              F6/A
Keep you apart, deep in my heart

[Verse 8]
      Gm7
Separate from the rest,
          Eb6add9
where I like     you the best
    Bb          D7           Eb
And keep the things you forgot 

[Chorus]
Eb F6  Gm7         Bb/A Bb Bb/C   Bb/D
People you've been before that you
Ebm6/Gb F6       Gm/E
Don't   want around  anymore
     Eb       F6              Gm7         Bb/A Bb  Bb/C Bb/D
That push and shove and won't bend to your     will
Eb                 Ebm
  I'll keep them still
