Нежная колыбельная от лица алкоголя — или от лица любви, которая неотличима от зависимости. «Пей, детка, не спи всю ночь». Обещание утешения, которое разрушает.
Капо 1 лад → D, A, E, Dm, Am
[Куплет]:Gm Eb
Drink up, baby, stay up all night.
Bb
With the things you could do,
Dm
You won't but you might.
Gm
The potential you'll be,
Eb
That you'll never see,
Bb D Eb
The promises you'll only make.
[Куплет]: Gm
Drink up with me now,
Eb
And forget all about
Bb
The pressure of days.
F Dm
Do what I say,
Gm
And I'll make you okay,
Eb
And drive them away
Bb D Eb
The images stuck in your head
[Припев]: F Gm Bb
People you've been before
Gb F C
That you don't want around anymore —
Eb F Gm Bb
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
Eb Ebm
I’ll keep them still.
[Куплет]:Gm Eb
Drink up, baby, look at the stars.
Bb
I'll kiss you again
F Dm
Between the bars,
Gm
Where I'm seeing you there,
Eb
With your hands in the air,
Bb D Eb
Waiting to finally be caught.
[Куплет]:Gm
Drink up one more time,
Eb
And I'll make you mine.
Bb
Keep you apart,
F
Deep in my heart,
Gm
Separate from the rest,
Eb
Where I like you the best,
Bb D Eb
And keep the things you forgot.
[Привет]: F Gm Bbm
The people you've been before
Gb F C
That you don't want around anymore —
Eb F Gm Bb
That push and shove and won't bend to your will.
Eb Ebm
I'll keep them still.
