[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G
I can still see your blue sky blue eyes
Cadd9
Hangin’ on a mango kiss
G
Hear the waves and the breeze and the Joshua trees
Cadd9
It was just about as good as it gets
G
Taste the salt on the rim, feel the sand on your skin
Cadd9
And the wild in the wind like I’m right there again

[Chorus]
G                                    Cadd9
Under a moon over Mexico
G                             Cadd9
Holdin’ onto you as the low tide rolls
Em7                                                         D/F#
Whatever that buzz was, I ain’t felt it since
Cadd9
But I can’t seem to let it go
Em7                                                       D/F#
And there was a shine in the dark, a flame from a spark
Cadd9
And a lime in a Pacifico
Cadd9 G/B Am7 D G Cadd9
Under a moon over Mexico

[Verse 2]
G
The second I left I was kickin’ myself
Cadd9
‘Cause I knew I should’ve stayed
G
Still tequila love drunk, from us wakin’ up
Cadd9
Under the Cabo palm leaf shade
G
And it’s crazy I know, but I’d give anything to go
Cadd9
To you and me on that coast, in the midnight glow

[Chorus]
G                             Cadd9
Of a moon over Mexico

Holdin’ onto you as the low tide rolls
Em7                                                         D/F#
Whatever that buzz was, I ain’t felt it since
Cadd9
But I can’t seem to let it go
Em7                                                       D/F#
And there was a shine in the dark, a flame from a spark
Cadd9
And a lime in a Pacifico

Under a moon over Mexico
