Elliott Smith - Between The Bars
Am7 F
Drink up, baby, stay up all night.
C
With the things you could do,

You won't but you might.
Am7
The potential you'll be,
F
That you'll never see,
C E7 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,

And I'll make you okay,
F
And drive them away
C E7 F
The images stuck in your head

That push and shove and won't bend to your will.

I'll keep them still.
Am7 F
Drink up, baby, look at the stars.
C
I'll kiss you again
E7
Between the bars,
Am7
Where I'm seeing you there,

With your hands in the air,
C E7 F
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,
F
Where I like you the best,
C E7 F
And keep the things you forgot.

The people you've been before
F G Am Am&F#
That you don't want around anymore-

That push and shove and won't bend to your will.

I'll keep them still.
