Am                   EmSuspicion came from around the bend

F                             CThis party might be out of my league
Am                      EmSuspicion stabbed me in the back again

                  Amdown in beautiful Mexico

REPEAT CHORDS FROM FIRST VERSE:

My feels caught on a spiderweb
as I was walking out and into the desert
I left my heart but somehow kept my head
And I've been acting like I don't even care
But with a drink or two,
like the one I never had with you
I'm slurring all the things that you are
Thinking about what we could have been
And no, I never even make it to the car

REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS

And all the sudden I can't let you go
I say we should have gone to Mexico
You've got love like a fire- though I can't put you out,
I can't stand and admire it
'Cause if I'm with you than I want to be
So sweetheart take a little drive with me
We'll get lost in the sun, oh the night's just begun
down in beautiful Mexico

PLAY THE INTRO THROUGH HORN AND GUITAR SOLOS

And all the sudden I can't let you go
I say we should have gone to Mexico
You've got love like a fire- though I can't put you out,
I can't stand and admire it
'Cause if I'm with you than I want to be
So sweetheart take a little drive with me
We'll get lost in the sun, oh the night's just begun
down in beautiful Mexico
