verse 1 

G 
Bury the flames in the hot, hot sand 
G 
We can't stop digging it up 
G 
Keep staring it up 
Cadd9 
We got carried away, we got carried away 
G 
Pouring a drink in a empty glass 
G 
One night isn't enough, so pour another for us 
Cadd9 
We got carried away, we got carried away 
Em                    C 
And it all went down so fast 

G 
It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama 
C 
It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama 
Em 
If your eyes look the same under different stars 
C 
it's not a mistake to be where we are 
G 
It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama, Panama, Panama 

verse 2 

G 
Watching the tide pulling us back in 
G 
waves crash into the shore 
G 
We said that we wanted more 
C 
We got carried away, we got carried away 
G 
Stand in the dark with my t-shirt on 
G 
our clothes all over the floor 
G 
Why did we end it before? 
C 
We got carried away, we got carried away 

G 
It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama 
C 
It had to be, had to be, had to be Panama 
Em 
If your eyes look the same under different stars 
C 
it's not a mistake to be where we are

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