[Intro]
 
Am7
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Stay up all night
         C
With the things you could do,
    G6
You won't but you might.
     Am7
The potential you'll be,
     F9
That you'll never see
    C         E        F
The promises you'll only make.
Am7
Drink up with me now,
  F9
Forget all about
    C
The pressure of days
G6
Do what I say
Am7
And I'll make you okay,
F9
Drive them away,
    C      E             F
The images stuck in your head:
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F     G
The people
Am     *Riff 1*
You've been before that you
F      G
Don't want 
Am
Around any more
      F         G
They push, and shove
Am     *Riff 2*               F
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Look at the stars.
         C
I'll kiss you again
    G6
Between the bars.
     Am7
I keep seeing you there,
     F9
With your hands in the air
    C         E        F
Waiting to finally be caught.
Am7
Drink up one more time,
  F9
And I'll make you mine.
    C
Keep you apart,
G6
Deep in my heart.
Am7
Separate from the rest
F9
Where I like you the best
    C      E             F
And keep the things you forgot.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F     G
The people
Am     *Riff 1*
You've been before that you
F      G
Don't want 
Am
Around any more
      F         G
They push, and shove
Am     *Riff 2*               F
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.
 
 
End on Fm

A few chords incorrect. The G6 in the verse should be played like this: [tab] G6 e|--3---| B|--3---| G|--0---| D|--2---| A|--X---| E|--X---|[/tab] The chords in riff 1 are incorrect. Where it says F it should be Fm. Where it says Fm it should be G6. After that a Am6 is played on the line "Around anymore...": [tab] Fm G6 Am6 e|--1------0------0----| B|--1------0------1----| G|--1------0------2----| D|--3------0------0----| A|--3------x------x----| E|--4------3------2----|[/tab] Riff 2 is incorrect as well. The chord names are right but tabbed wrong: [tab] F Fm e|--1----1----| B|--1----1----| G|--2----1----| D|--3----3----| A|--3----3----| E|--1----1----|[/tab] For the rest the tabs and chords are right.

+11

i don't understand how this gets such a high rating - it sounds very wrong.

Instead of the G6 in the verse after the C, I play an E7... Sounds good to me.
