[Verse 1]
[F] We met by the bar,
salt on your skin
[M] Lost in the crowd,
you pulled me in
[F] Mango on my lips,
dust on your shoes
[M] One look from you,
and I forgot my blues
[Pre-Chorus]
[F] We danced too close
[M] The floor went warm
[F] Your hand on my waist
[M] Like a coming storm
[F] I knew that night
[M] We’d burn so bright
[Chorus]
[F] Cabo Wabo, hold me now
[M] Cabo Wabo, take me down
[F] Found you fast
[M] Lost you slow
[F] Cabo Wabo, don’t let go
(M) Don’t let go
[F] Cabo Wabo, in my blood
[M] Cabo Wabo, sun and dust
[F] One sweet kiss
[M] One long gone
[F] Cabo Wabo, sing us on
(M) Sing us on
[Verse 2]
[M] Morning came hard,
white on the sheets
[F] You were half a dream
[M] Bare feet, no peace
[F] You said “maybe later”
[M] I said “stay”
[F] By the time I turned around
[M] You’d slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Your name still hangs
[M] In that painted air
[F] A crack of dawn
[M] And an empty chair
[F] I chase that spark
[M] Back to the start
[Chorus]
[F] Cabo Wabo, hold me now
[M] Cabo Wabo, take me down
[F] Found you fast
[M] Lost you slow
[F] Cabo Wabo, don’t let go
(M) Don’t let go
[F] Cabo Wabo, in my blood
[M] Cabo Wabo, sun and dust
[F] One sweet kiss
[M] One long gone
[F] Cabo Wabo, sing us on
(M) Sing us on
[Bridge]
[F] If I go back
[M] Will you be there?
[F] Under the moon
[M] In the warm night air
[F] If not, I’ll keep
[M] What we had alive
[F] A flash of love
[M] That learned to dive
[Break]
[F] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[M] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[F] Found you fast
[M] Lost you slow
[Final Chorus]
[F] Cabo Wabo, hold me now
[M] Cabo Wabo, take me down
[F] Found you fast
[M] Lost you slow
[F] Cabo Wabo, don’t let go
(M) Don’t let go
[F] Cabo Wabo, in my blood
[M] Cabo Wabo, sun and dust
[F] One sweet kiss
[M] One long gone
[F] Cabo Wabo, sing us on
(M) Sing us on
