[Am7]Drink up baby,
[F9]Stay up all night

You [G6]won't but you might.

[F9]Forget all about
The [C]pressure of days
[G6]Do what I say
[Am7]And I'll make you okay,
[F9]Drive them away,
The [C]images [E]stuck in your [F]head:
Chorus:
[F]The people[G]
[Am]You've been (Riff 1) before that you
[F]Don't want[G]
[Am]Around any more
They [F]push, and [G]shove
[Am]And won't (Riff 2) bend to your will [F]
[F]I'll keep them [Fm]still.

[Am7]Drink up baby,
[F9]Look at the stars.
I'll kiss [C] you again
[G6]Between the bars.
I [Am7]keep seeing you there,
With [F9]your hands in the air
[C]Waiting to [E]finally be [F]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
And [C]keep [E]the things you [F]forgot.
