Verse 1
 
[Am7]Drink up, baby, s[F]stay up all night.
With the th[C]things you could do,
You w[E7]won't but you might.
The pot[Am7]potential you'll be,
That yo[F]you'll never see,
The pr[C]omises yo[E7]u'll only m[F]ake.
Drink [Am7]up with me now,
And forg[F]forget all about
The pre[C]pressure of days.
[E7]Do what I say,
And I'll m[Am7]make you okay,
And dr[F]drive them away
The im[C]ages st[E7]uck in your he[F]ad
 
 
Chorus
 
[F]Peop[G]People you've been before
That you d[F]on't w[G]ant ar[Am]ound an[Am/F#]ymore—
That p[F]push and sh[G]shove
and won't bend to your will.
[F] I’ll keep them s[Fm]still.
 
 
Verse 2
 
[Am7]Drink up, baby, lo[F]look at the stars.
I'll k[C]kiss you again
[E7]Between the bars,
Where I'm se[Am7]seeing you there,
With your ha[F]hands in the air,
[C]Waiting to fi[E7]finally be ca[F]caught.
Drink [Am7]up one more time,
And I[F]I'll make you mine.
[C]Keep you apart,
[E7]Deep in my heart,
Separa[Am7]Separate from the rest,
Where I l[F]like you the best,
And ke[C]ep the t[E7]hings you fo[F]rgot.
 
 
Chorus
 
The peop[G]people you've been before
That you d[F]on't w[G]ant ar[Am]ound an[Am/F#]ymore—
That pu[F]push and s[G]shove and
won't bend to your will.
[F] I'll keep them st[Fm]still.
 
[Am7]
