Between The Bars — Madeleine Peyroux
Chords and lyrics for Between The Bars by Madeleine Peyroux (key of C).
Intro
[Em7]
Verse 1
[Em7]Drink up baby,
[C9]Stay up all night
With the [Gmaj7]things you could do,
You [D6]won't but you might.
The [Em7]potential you'll be,
That [C9]you'll never see
The [Gmaj7]promises [Bmaj7]you'll only make.[Cmaj7]
[Em7]Drink up with me now,
[C9]Forget all about
The [Gmaj7]pressure of days
[D6]Do what I say
[Em7]And I'll make you okay,
[C9]Drive them away,
The [Gmaj7]images [Bmaj7]stuck in your [Cmaj7]head:
Chorus
[C7]The [D7]people
[Em]You've been before that you
[C7]Don't [D7]want
[Em]Around any more
They [C7]push, and [D7]shove
[Em]And won't bend to your[C7] will
[C7]I'll keep them [Cm]still.
Verse 2
[Em7]Drink up baby,
[C9]Look at the stars.
I'll kiss[Gmaj7] you again
[D6]Between the bars.
I [Em7]keep seeing you there,
With [C9]your hands in the air
[Gmaj7]Waiting to [Bmaj7]finally be [Cmaj7]caught.
[Em7]Drink up one more time,
[C9]And I'll make you mine.
Keep[Gmaj7] you apart,
[D6]Deep in my heart.
[Em7]Separate from the rest
[C9]Where I like you the best
And [Gmaj7]keep the [Bmaj7]things you [Cmaj7]forgot.
Chorus
[C7]The [D7]people
Em 1
You've been before that you
[C7]Don't [D7]want
[Em]Around any more
They [C7]push, and [D7]shove
[Em]And won't bend to your[C7] will
[C7]I'll keep them [Cm]still.
