Elliott Smith - Between The Bars

[INTRO]

Am7

[Verse 1]

Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Stay up all night
         C
With the things you could do,
    G6
You won't but you might.
     Am7
The potential you'll be,
     F9
That you'll never see
    C         E        F
The promises you'll only make.
Am7
Drink up with me now,
  F9
Forget all about
    C
The pressure of days
G6
Do what I say
Am7
And I'll make you okay,
F9
Drive them away,
    C      E             F
The images stuck in your head:


[Chorus]

F     G
The people
Am     Riff 1
You've been before that you
F      G         
Don't want
Am
Around any more
      F         G
They push, and shove
Am     Riff 2               F
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.


[Verse 2]

Am7
Drink up baby,
F9
Look at the stars.
         C
I'll kiss you again
    G6
Between the bars.
     Am7
I keep seeing you there,
     F9
With your hands in the air
    C         E        F
Waiting to finally be caught.
Am7
Drink up one more time,
  F9
And I'll make you mine.
    C
Keep you apart,
G6
Deep in my heart.
Am7
Separate from the rest
F9
Where I like you the best
    C      E             F
And keep the things you forgot.


[Chorus]

F     G
The people
Am     Riff 1
You've been before that you
F      G         
Don't want
Am
Around any more
      F         G
They push, and shove
Am     Riff 2               F
And won't bend to your will
F              Fm
I'll keep them still.
