{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
man, it's a [Am]hot one, [F] [E7] like seven inches from the [Am]midday sun [F] [E7]
well, I hear you whisper and the [Dm7]words melt every[Bdim7]one,
but [E7/G#]you stay so [Am]cool [F] [E7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
my mune[Am]quita, [F] [E7] my Spanish Harlem Mona [Am]Lisa [F] [E7]
you're my reason for [Dm7]reason [Bdim7]
the [E7/G#]step in my [Am]groove [F] [E7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
and if you [Am]said, this life [F] ain't [E7]good enough
I'd [Am]give my world [F] to [E7]lift you up
I could [Am]change my life [F] to [E7]better suit your [Dm7]mood [F/C] [Bdim7]
[G]cause you're so [Bsus4/F#]smooth [E7]

and it's [Am]just like the ocean [E7]under the moon
well, that's the [Am]same the emotion that I [E7]get from you
you [Am]got the kind of loving that could [E7]be so smooth
[Dm7]give me your heart, make it [E7]real or else forget about it

well, I'll tell you [Am]one thing, [F] [E7]

I hear your [Bdim7]name [E7/G#]calling me [Am]out [F] [E7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 4}
out from the [Am]barrio [F] [E7] you hear my rhythm on your [Am]radio [F] [E7]
and you feel the turning of the [Dm7]world [F/C]so soft and [Bdim7]slow
it's [E7/G#]turning you [Am]'round and [F] [E7]'round
