[Verse 1]
A                             D
Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
A                                        D
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
G                         A
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
D                     G
It's time to leave it alone
Bm                            G                  A
So I don't think we're gonna beat this postcard home

[Chorus]
G                             A
We're down to the worm in the bottle
    D                      G
The chips and the salsa are gone
D               G         Bm  A   G
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
      G                     A
We're two days south of the border
D                        G
Feeling too good to care why
      Bm                   A
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
               D
As the days go by

[Verse 2]
A                                         D
We're dropping our worries and pickin' up Español
A                                      D
Down here the sunsets are red, the tequila is gold
G                       A
Life is sublime here on Mexican time
        D                         G
They've got something we need to learn
   Bm                   G
If we don't show for a while
      A
Don't be concerned

[Chorus]
G                             A
We're down to the worm in the bottle
D                           G
The chips and the salsa are gone
D               G         Bm  A   G
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
      G                     A
We're two days south of the border
D                        G
Feeling too good to care why
      Bm                   A
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
               D
As the days go by

[Chorus]
G                             A
We're down to the worm in the bottle
    D                       G
The chips and the salsa are gone
D               G         Bm  A   G
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
      G                     A
We're two days south of the border
D                        G
Feeling too good to care why
      Bm                   A
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
               D
As the days go by

      Bm                   A
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
A               D
  As the days go by
