Great song, and very simple to play.
Capo 3
Standard Tuning
Intro:  Am   Em   F  Em  
AmSuspicion came from aEmround the bend
and iFt tapped me on the shCoulder
AmI heed your warning but EmI'm sorry friend
Fthis is exactly what I Cwant
AmWalking in knowingly I Emhave got to get a hold of me
FThis party might be out of my Cleague
AmSuspicion stabbed me in Emthe back again
FI poured my heart out and I started to Cleave
CHORUS:
And all the sudden I can't lFet it go
I say we should have gone to CMexico
You've got love like a fGire- though I can't put you ouFt,
I can't stand and aAmdmire it
'Cause if I'm with you than FI want to be
So sweetheart take a little Cdrive with me
We'll get lost in the suGn, oh the night's just beguFn
down in beautiful AmMexico
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
