This is the chord progression of Oh Mexico by Jeremy Zucker on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
D Em7 C C/E
No, I don’t miss you yet
D Em7 C C/E
You’re just a feeling I’d rather forget
D Em7 C G
So I pierce my skin and I buzz my hair
Am Bm7 C C/E
I’m going to Mexico
D Em7 C C/E
No, I don’t feel the same
D Em7 C C/E
The lack of chemicals in my brain
D Em7
Won’t keep me warm
C G
So I pause and pray
Am Bm7 C C/E
I don’t wanna feel the cold
D Em7 C C/E
So I’m going to Mexico

[Chorus]
D Em7 C C/E
Oh, Mexico
D Em7
Sounds so sweet
C C/E
But I’m going there alone
D Em7
I tried to be myself but still
C C/E
I’ve got some room to grow
D Em7 C C/E
I’m going to Mexico

[Verse 2]
D Em7 C C/E
And I won’t miss you then
D Em7 C C/E
The weight of every word on my chest
D Em7
So I curse my name
C C/E
And my fragile frame
D Em7 C C/E
Anywhere could feel like home (Anywhere)
D Em7 C C/E
But I’m going to Mexico

[Chorus]
D Em7 C C/E
Oh, Mexico
D Em7
Sounds so sweet
C G
But I’m going there alone
Am Bm7
I tried to be myself but still
C C/E
I’ve got some room to grow
D Em7 C C/E
I’m going to Mexico (Mexico, Mexico)
D Em7 C C/E
I’m going to Mexico
