Our Paradise

A hot summer, no plans, and no reason to rush it.

Verse 1

I was dancin' to some good old southern rock
When I felt your hand take mine
I was lookin' for some time to kill
And I think that you read my mind

Pre-Chorus

But we were just two lost souls
Gettin' to know each other by the sea
We might've been in Mexico
It was our own paradise

Chorus

It was a hot, hot summer
With your body so close to mine
I don't wanna stop, stop, stop it
Oh, baby, let's take our time
I ain't gotta know where we're goin'
'Cause I just wanna feel alive
But we might as well call it Mexico
'Cause it was our paradise

Post-Chorus

It was a hot, hot summer
And we were both feelin' the vibe
I don't wanna stop, stop, stop it
I just wanna feel alive
But we might as well call it Mexico
'Cause it was our paradise

Verse 2

Then we walked into the salty air
And we danced under the moon
While the stars lit up the night sky
And the sea was singin' her tune

Pre-Chorus

And we were just two lost souls
Gettin' to know each other by the sea
We might've been in Mexico
It was our own paradise

Chorus

It was a hot, hot summer
With your body so close to mine
I don't wanna stop, stop, stop it
Oh, baby, let's take our time
I ain't gotta know where we're goin'
'Cause I just wanna feel alive
But we might as well call it Mexico
'Cause it was our paradise

Post-Chorus

It was a hot, hot summer
And we were both feelin' the vibe
I don't wanna stop, stop, stop it
I just wanna feel alive
But we might as well call it Mexico
'Cause it was our paradise

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
