        F#
It's a little after midnight
           C#
There's a couple in the corner
       G#                               A#m
And I wonder what he said because she's crying

       F#
And I guess they won't remember
           C#
When they wake up in the morning
        G#                               A#m
With a headache from the whiskey and the wine

   F#                               C#
I know that I have said things I regret when I am sober
          G#                               A#m
'Cause we always hurt the ones we love the most

   F#
I messed up and I know it
      C#
If I hurt you girl I'm sorry
          G#                            A#m
But it's good to see the girl I used to know

F#               C#
We can dance but I can't dance
G#                    A#m          F#
Maybe we can stick to holding hands
              C#          G#
Or should we raise a glass
    A#m
And forget the past?

Chorus:
   F#                 C#
'Cause if we keep on drinking
         G#          A#m
We gon' fall back in love
           F#  C#
So fill it u-u-up,
        G#  A#m
Fill it u-u-up
F#              C#
We must not be thinking
           G#         A#m
'Cause we can't get enough
           F#  C#
So fill it u-u-up,
        G#
Fill it up
A#m                          F#    C#     G#
Bartender, can you pour some lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove?
A#m                          F#    C#     G# A#m
Bartender, can you pour some lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove?

We can talk about a future, we don't wanna reminisce
Because we both know it was me who got it wrong
But fuck it's good to see you
You look awesome and I miss you
Baby listen now, they're playing our song

We could dance but I can't dance
Maybe we could stick to holding hands
And let's raise a glass
And forget the past

Chorus

           C#
And it's closing time,
         A#m
Back to yours or mine?
F#    C#
After all this time,
          A#m
You still blow my mind

F#         C#
And it's closing time,
         A#m
Back to yours or mine?
F#    C#
After all this time,
      A#m
After all this timee

Chorus

F#             C#
If we keep on drinking
         G#          A#m
We gon' fall back in love
           F#  C#
So fill it u-u-up,
        G#  A#m
Fill it u-u-up
