D-DU-UDU
F9: (x(x)3213) you can play the a string if you desire
Drink up baby,
Stay up all night
With the things you could do,
You won't but you might.
The potential you'll be,
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make.
Drink up with me now,
Forget all about
The pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay,
Drive them away,
The images stuck in your head:
The people
Am Riff 1
You've been before that you
Don't want
Around any more
They push, and shove
Riff 2
And won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still.
Then its the same for the rest of the song:
Drink up baby,
Look at the stars.
I'll kiss you again
Between the bars.
I keep seeing you there,
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught.
Drink up one more time,
And I'll make you mine.
Keep you apart,
Deep in my heart.
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot.
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
They push, and shove
And won't bend to your will.
I'll keep them still.
End on Fm.
