you won't but you might.

The potential you'll be,

that you'll never see,

the promises you'll only make.

Drink up with me now,

forget all about

the pressure of days.

Do what I say,

the images stuck in your head

Am7F
Drink up, baby, look at the stars.

I'll kiss you again

Between the bars,
Am7
Where I'm seeing you there,

With your hands in the air,
CE7F
Waiting to finally be caught.
Am7
Drink up one more time,
F
And I'll make you mine.

Keep you apart,

Deep in my heart,
Am7
Separate from the rest,

Where I like you the best,
CE7F
And keep the things you forgot.
