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