[Verse 1]

           
Drink up, baby

night.
           
With the thing

,
     
You won't but

The promises y

Drink up with 

me now,
        
And forget all

 about
       
The pressure o

f days.

Do what I say,
          
And I'll make 

you okay,
      
And drive them

The images stu

People you've 

been before
         
That you don't

        
 want around a

  
nymore -
             
That push and 

            
shove and won'

  
t bend to your

 will.
             
  I'll keep th

Drink up, baby

Between the ba

Where I'm seei


ng you there,
            
With your hand

Waiting to fin

Drink up one m

ore time,
     
And I'll make 

you mine.

Keep you apart

,

Deep in my hea

rt,
      
Separate from 

the rest,
         
Where I like y

ou the best,
             
And keep the t

The people you

That push and 

            
shove and won'

  
t bend to your

 will.
             
  I'll keep th

* There's a riff here.. It's pretty simple, and all the notes receive an even time. Just
listen to the record and you should be able to hear the rhythm.

Note: for the Am/F#, I like to just reach across with my middle finger, which is on the
2nd fret of the D string using my Am open fingering, and hit the second fret on the low E
The point of my finger holds down the string while the fleshy part mutes the A string. I 
think this sounds better and is a lot easier than using some weird fingering to get a proper
chord with all six strings ringing.
