VERSE 1:
Am7            F9
Drink up baby, stay up all night
  C                             [ch]G6/B[/ch]
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
Am7                      F9
The potential you'll be, that you'll never see
C            E7          F
The promises you'll only make.

VERSE 2:
Am7                   F9
Drink up with me now, forget all about
 C                     [ch]G6/B[/ch]
The pressure of days, do what I say
Am7                     F9
And I'll make you okay, drive them away,
C          E7            F
The images stuck in your head:

CHORUS:
F     G
The people
Am
You've been before,
     F         G
that you don't want 
Am
Around any more
     F         G
They push, and shove
Am 
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.

VERSE 3:
Am7            F9
Drink up baby, look at the stars.
 C                     [ch]G6/B[/ch]
I'll kiss you again, between the bars.
Am7                      F9
I keep seeing you there, with your hands in the air
C          E7         F
Waiting to finally be caught.

VERSE 4:
Am7                     F9
Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine.
C                [ch]G6/B[/ch]
Keep you apart, deep in my heart.
Am7                     F9
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
C            E7         F
And keep the things you forgot.

CHORUS:
F     G
The people
Am
You've been before,
     F         G
that you don't want 
Am
Around any more
     F         G
They push, and shove
Am 
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.
