Stay up all night
      C                     C7M/B
The things you could do you won't but you might
       Am7

      F
But you'll never see
     C       E           F
The promises you'll only make
Am7
Drink up with me now
      F
And forget all about

The pressure of days do what I say
         Am7
And I'll make you ok
     F
And drive them away
    C       E              F
The image is stuck in your head

F   G   Am7
People you've been before
         F      G     Am7
That you don't  want  around anymore
     F        G               Am7
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
F                 Fm
   I'll keep them still

Am7
Drink up baby
F
Look at the stars

Where I'm seeing you there
             F
With your hands in the air
  C        E          F
Waiting to finally be caught
      Am7
Drink up one more time
    F
And I'll make you mine
C              C7M/B
Keep you apart deep in my heart
     Am7
Separate from the rest

Where I like you the best

And keep the things you forgot

That push and shove and won't bend to your will
F                  Fm
