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