Between The Bars Smith Elliot

[Em7]Drink up, baby, s[C]tay up all night.

With the th[G]ings you could do,

You w[B7]on't but you might.

The pot[Em7]ential you'll be,

That yo[C]u'll never see,

The pr[G]omises yo[B]u'll only m[C]ake.

Drink [Em7]up with me now,

And forg[C]et all about

The pre[G]ssure of days.

[B7]Do what I say,

And I'll m[Em7]ake you okay,

And dr[C]ive them away

The i[G]mages st[B]uck in your [C]head

[C]Peop[D]le [Em]you've been be[Em/C#]fore

That you d[C]on't w[D]ant ar[Em]ound an[Em/C#]ymore�

[C] That push and [D]shove and won't [Em]bend to your [Em/C#]will.

[C] I'll keep them s[Cm]till.

[Em7]Drink up, baby, lo[C]ok at the stars.

I'll k[G]iss you again

[B7]Between the bars,

Where I'm se[Em7]eing you there,

With your ha[C]nds in the air,

[G]Waiting to fi[B]nally be ca[C]ught.

Drink [Em7]up one more time,

And I[C]'ll make you mine.

[G]Keep you apart,

[B7]Deep in my heart,

Separa[Em7]te from the rest,

Where I l[C]ike you the best,

And ke[G]ep the t[B]hings you fo[C]rgot.

The [C]peo[D]ple [Em]you've been be[Em/C#]fore

That you d[C]on't w[D]ant ar[Em]ound an[Em/C#]ymore

That [C]push and [D]shove and won't [Em]bend to your will.

[C] I'll keep them st[Cm]ill.

[Em7]
