<< Back to Elliott Smith Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 5

            This is not exactly as it's supposed to be played, but it's the same chords in the 
right key without tuning your guitar down a whole step.

Capo 3rd fret
(All chords relative to capo)

[Verse 1]
Em7            C
Drink up baby, stay up all night
         G
With the things you could do
    D
You won't but you might
      Em7                    C
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
    G        B           C
The promises you'll only make
      Em7           
Drink up with me now
    C                    G
And forget all about the pressure of days
D                      Em7
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
    C
And drive them away
    G      B             C
The images stuck in your head

[Chorus]
    C  D   Em7           G
The people you've been before
         C/E   D    A7
That you don't want around anymore
     C        D               Em7          G      C
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
               Cm
I'll keep them still

[Verse 2]
Em7            C
Drink up baby, look at the stars
     G              D
I'll kiss you again between the bars 
          Em7                        C
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
G          B          C
Waiting to finally be caught
      Em7                  C
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
G               D
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Em7                             C
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
    G        B          C
And keep the things you forgot

[Chorus]
    C  D   Em7           G
The people you've been before
         C/E   D    A7
That you don't want around anymore
     C        D               Em7          G      C
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
               Cm
I'll keep them still
