Between The Bars Tab

by Elliott Smith


This is not exactly as it's supposed to be played, but its 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:

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


Chorus:

                     
The people you've been before
                
That you don't want around anymore
                                             
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
               
I'll keep them still

Verse 2:

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

Repeat Chorus
