[Verse 1]
Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Stay up all night
C
With the things you could do,
G6
You won't but you might.
Am7
The potential you'll be,
F9
That you'll never see
C E F
The promises you'll only make.
Am7
Drink up with me now,
F9
Forget all about
C
The pressure of days
G6
Do what I say
Am7
And I'll make you okay,
F9
Drive them away,
C E F
The images stuck in your head:
[Chorus]
F G
The people
Am *Riff 1*
You've been before that you
F G
Don't want
Am
Around any more
F G
They push, and shove
Am *Riff 2* F
And won't bend to your will
F Fm
I'll keep them still.
[Verse 2]
Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Look at the stars.
C
I'll kiss you again
G6
Between the bars.
Am7
I keep seeing you there,
F9
With your hands in the air
C E F
Waiting to finally be caught.
Am7
Drink up one more time,
F9
And I'll make you mine.
C
Keep you apart,
G6
Deep in my heart.
Am7
Separate from the rest
F9
Where I like you the best
C E F
And keep the things you forgot.
[Chorus]
F G
The people
Am *Riff 1*
You've been before that you
F G
Don't want
Am
Around any more
F G
They push, and shove
Am *Riff 2* F
And won't bend to your will

I'll keep them still.
