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