--Capo 3rd Fret--

[Verse 1]
           
Drink up, baby

   
, stay up all 

night.
           
With the thing

s you could do

,
     
You won't but 

you might.
       
The potential 

you'll be,
       
That you'll ne

ver see,
             
The promises y

          
ou'll only mak

e.

      
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

 away
            
The images stu

          
ck in your hea

d

[Chorus]
       *
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

    
em still.

 [Verse 2]
           
Drink up, baby

    
, look at the 

stars.
      
I'll kiss you 

again

Between the ba

rs,
            
Where I'm seei


ng you there,
            
With your hand

s in the air,
            
Waiting to fin

         
ally be caught

.

      
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

          
hings you forg

ot.

[Chorus]
            
The people you

*
've been befor

e
             
That you don't

           
 want around a

 
nymore—
             
That push and 

          *
shove and won'

t bend to your

 will.
             
  I'll keep th

     
em still.
