[Verse 1]
GBury the flames in the hot, hot sand
GWe can't stop digging it up
GKeep staring it up
Cadd9We got carried away, we got carried away
GPouring a drink in a empty glass
GOne night isn't enough, so pour another for us
Cadd9We got carried away, we got carried away
And it Amall went down so Cfast
[Chorus]
GIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama
CIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama
GIf your eyes look the same under different stars
Emit's not a mistake to be where we are
CIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama
[Verse 2]
GWatching the tide pulling us back in
Gwaves crash into the shore
GWe said that we wanted more
CWe got carried away, we got carried away
GStand in the dark with my t-shirt on
Gour clothes all over the floor
GWhy did we end it before?
CWe got carried away, we got carried away
[Chorus]
GIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama
CIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama
GIf your eyes look the same under different stars
Emit's not a mistake to be where we are
CIt had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama

Cadd9

[Verse 1]

Bury the flames in the hot, hot sand

We can't stop digging it up

Keep staring it up

Cadd9

We got carried away, we got carried away

Pouring a drink in a empty glass

One night isn't enough, so pour another for us

Cadd9

We got carried away, we got carried away

Am C

And it all went down so fast

[Chorus]

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama

If your eyes look the same under different stars

it's not a mistake to be where we are

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama

[Verse 2]

Watching the tide pulling us back in

waves crash into the shore

We said that we wanted more

We got carried away, we got carried away

Stand in the dark with my t-shirt on

our clothes all over the floor

Why did we end it before?

We got carried away, we got carried away

[Chorus]

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama

If your eyes look the same under different stars

it's not a mistake to be where we are

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama

[Interlude]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama

If your eyes look the same under different stars

it's not a mistake to be where we are

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama

Oh, oh, oh, oh

OH, oh, oh, oh
