[G] [Gm]
Drink up baby, [Eb]
stay up all [Bb] night
With the things you could do, [Dm] you won't [F] but you might
The [Gm]
potential you'll be, [Eb] that you'll never see
[Bb] The [D] promises you'll [Eb] only make
[Gm] Drink up with me now, [Eb] and forget all [Bb] about
The pressure of days, [Dm] do what I say
And [Gm] I'll make you okay, [Eb] you drive them away
[Bb] With the ages [D] stuck in [Eb] your head
[F] People, [G] you've [A] been [Bb] before
That you [Gb]
don't [F] want [C] around anymore
They [Eb] push [F] and shove and [G] won't bend [Bb] to your will
[Eb]
I'll keep them [Ebm]
still
[Gm]
Drink up baby, [Eb] look at the stars
[Bb] I'll kiss you again, [Dm] [F] each [Dm] and every farce
Where [Gm] I'm seeing you there, with your [Eb] hands in the air
[Bb] Waiting [D] to finally [Eb] be caught
[Gm] Drink up one more time, [Eb] and I'll make you [Bb] mine
Keep you apart, [Dm] [F] deep [Dm] in my heart
[Gm] Separate from the rest, where [Eb] I like you the best
[Bb] And keep [D] the things you [Eb] forgot
[F] People, [G] you've [C] been [Bb] before
That you [Gb]
don't [F] want [C] around anymore
[Gm] [Eb] They push [Dm] and shove and [G] won't [C] bend to [Bb] your [Eb] will
I'll keep [Ebm] them still
[N]
