Aimee Mann - In Mexico

[Verse 1]
Am C Am
Big veranda
C Am
Stately trees
Dm F G Am
Servants bring me fruit and cheese
C Am
Flowers bloom and
C Am
Feed their bees
Dm F G
Underneath the Sword of Damocles

[Chorus]
F
And I’m shooting speed
G
‘Cause that’s what I do
Am Dm Am Dm
When I can’t get what I need from you
C Dm C Dm
In Mexico

[Verse 2]
Am C Am
Every Eden
C Am
Has its price
Dm F G Am
Here you have to pay it twice
C Am C Am
Servants bring me beans and rice
Dm F G
But there’s snakes in every Paradise

[Chorus]
F
‘Cause I’m shooting speed
G
And that’s what I do
Am Dm Am Dm
When I can’t get what I need from you
C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
C Dm C Dm
In Mexico

[Bridge]
Dm Am Dm C
I’m the crazy one they can point to
Dm Am Dm C
I’m the one who’s taking the heat
F Dm
So I slip out at night
C G
And walk through the street

[Verse 3]
Am C Am
I say “yes sir”
C Am
I say “ma’am”
Dm F G Am
When they ask me who I think I am
C Am C Am
Servants bring me steak and lamb
Dm F G
While I measure by the milligram

[Chorus]
F
And I’m shooting speed
G
‘Cause that’s what I do
Am Dm Am Dm
When I can’t get what I need from you
C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
C Dm C Dm
In Mexico
C Dm C Dm
Oh, in Mexico

[Outro]
Dm C Dm Am Dm C D Am
