Tuned one step down
(DGCFAD)

In 6/8 time. (it might be 3/4, but i think its 6/8.)

This is a simple song, and theres only one error in the other tab.

So:

CHORD BANK:

Am7: (x02213)
F9: (x(x)3213) you can play the a string if you desire
C: (x32010)
G6 (320000)
E: (022100)
F: (133211)
G: (320033)
Am: (x02210)
Fm: (133111)


INTRO:

Am7 (x02010@1)Am7Drink (x02010@1)up baby,

F9Stay (101011@1)up all night

         CWith (x32010@1)the things you could do,

    G6You (320000@1)won't but you might.

     Am7The (x02010@1)potential you'll be,

     F9That (101011@1)you'll never see

    C (x32010@1)       E (022100@1)      FThe (133211@1)promises you'll only make.

Am7Drink (x02010@1)up with me now,

  F9Forget (101011@1)all about

    CThe (x32010@1)pressure of days

G6Do (320000@1)what I say

Am7And (x02010@1)I'll make you okay,

F9Drive (101011@1)them away,

    C (x32010@1)    E (022100@1)           FThe (133211@1)images stuck in your head:


F (133211@1)   GThe (320003@1)people

Am (x02210@1)   Riff 1
You've been before that you

F (133211@1)    G (320003@1)        
Don't want 

AmAround (x02210@1)any more

      F (133211@1)       GThey (320003@1)push, and shove

Am (x02210@1)   Riff 2               FAnd (133211@1)won't bend to your will

F (133211@1)            FmI'll (133111@1)keep them still.



Then its the same for the rest of the song:



Drink up baby,

Look at the stars.

I'll kiss you again

Between the bars.

I keep seeing you there,

With your hands in the air

Waiting to finally be caught.

Drink up one more time,

And I'll make you mine.

Keep you apart,

Deep in my heart.

Separate from the rest

Where I like you the best

And keep the things you forgot.

The people you've been before

That you don't want around anymore

They push, and shove

And won't bend to your will.

I'll keep them still.


End on Fm.
