[Verse 1]
[C]ber 25th, [Am]2002,[C]
a thousand south of the border[Am],
with the sweat lodge [Bm]crew.
It was a [Am]work trip of [C]stills and videos,
15 of us, 10 babes,
[Am]and 5 [Bm]time broke.
It had been a lonely [Am]10th
week [C]of travel,
we'd had a [Am]good time,
but it was [B]starting [Bm]to unravel.
Hurricane wa[Am]ter was
somewhere near [C]the coast,
but for us, easier to believe in ghosts.
They told us to leave,
[Am]but we d[C]idn't believe
Cause we's from L [Am].A., Califor[Bm]nia
But with the wise,
nothing happens [Am]day [B]after [C]day
Out for drinks [Am]in Ol[B]d Town Foyard
It [Bm]was a tribe mob thing
that we [C]was all a part of
Havin' the [Am]time of our en[C]tire lives
[B]Laughin'[Bm] and dancin'[B] the[Am]
[B]second we ar[C]rived
Gettin' freaky on the [Am]dance floor
in [C]Prairie Foyard
[B]Didn't hav[Bm]e a c[Am]lue,
was about to meet [C]Marta
We had a bout on heavy bass,
bangin' joints in the house
Two -for -one drink spe[Am]cials,
there was [C]zero doubt
We was shakin' it up, in Puerto Vallarta
[Em]We was drink[Am]in' it up,
[C]in Puerto Vallarta
We was livin' it up, in Puerto Vallarta
[Em]Came the storm with the dick[Am]
in the bitch [C]named [Bm]Marta[Am][C]
At 6am [Am]back at the Sheraton,
[C]I'm a party mov[Bm]e to my roo[C]m
The number was 710, the wind arrived
[Am]As i[C]t was gettin' li[B]ght out
[C]side Shore of Amherst,
at least 30 feet high
Like giant muddy [Am]teeth
chomping [Bm]down the shore
[B]A quarter hour later r[C]olling
through the lobby's back door
Palm trees, [Am]TVs, re[C]frigerators, [B]more
Swept on through [Am]the first,
[C]second floors
Lights, water[Am], phone,
[C]already [B]gone
[C]Nowhere [Am]to go,
we were [C]stranded alone
Windows popping,
[Am]like red [B]and black popcorn
Doors slamming,
like Amity House of [C]Horror
Plastering brick[Am]s,
getting [C]torn up with the ceiling
While the staff in a [Am]circle,
[C]grinding and kneeling
But the pigeon [Am]in us,
did[C]n't want to [B]fuss
let us [Bm]live [Am]or l[C]et our heads bust
bring this shit on
we cheered [Am]bring this shit on
[C]we had about a heavy bass
banging joints in the house
two for one drink specials
there was zero doubt
we was shaking it up
and playing it for your order
we was [Am]drinking it up
and [C]playing it for your order
we was living it up
and playing it for your order
came the [Am]storm of the [C]decade
of which name more time yeah
what would you do
[Am]what would [C]you do
if you knew
the roof was [Am]coming down
and [C]if you left it, you would drown
What we did [Am]was [C]a givin',
not allowed to recommend it
But definitely don't condemn it, thought
What is it [Am]in life that [C]we most cherish?
[Bm]Dig mu s[Am]ic and making[C] love
Turned up the volume
[Am]and opened a[C]n other room
Just like that old Beach Boys song
Two babes for [Am]every [C]bro
As the building was crum[Am]bling,
we was [C]dancing and drinking
And [Am]grinding and bumping
instead of [C]screaming and crying
We was laughing and laughing
Bring this [Am]shit [C]on, we cheered
Bring this [Am]shit [C]on
But after only three hours
[Am]the [Bm]wind slowed, the rain [B]stopped
The [C]sun [Am]came out
and the waves [C]began to [Bm]drop
Just like [C]most of the [Am]Red [Bm]Sea
[B]Without [Am]delay,
modest waters began [C]to recede
[Bm]The [C]hotel [Am]no longer sh[C]aked and quaked
Had a little [Am]party, been a [C]big mistake
[Bm]Well [Am]hell no,
stoked that we [C]wouldn't drown us
We turned the volume up, even [Am]louder
We had a [C]bottle, heavy bass,
bangin' joints in the house
Two for [Am]one, drink spe[C]cials,
there was zero doubt
We was shakin' it up, in Puerto Vallarta
We was [Am]drinkin' [C]it up, in Puerto Vallarta
We was livin' it up, in Puerto Vallarta
Thought we was gonna die,
in Puerto Vallarta
But we survived the five,
in Puerto Vallarta
Thought we was gonna die, in Vallarta
But we survived the five, in Vallarta
Thought we [Am]was gonna d[C]ie,
in Puerto Vallarta
But we sur[Am]vived the five, in Vallarta
[C][Am]
[C][Am]
[C][Am]
[C][Am]
[C]
[C]We You
