[Verse 1]
C
We're a long way from home
Gadd11
Haven't seen you in so long
Fsus2
But it all came back in one moment
C
And the year started cold
Gadd11
But I didn't notice at all
Fsus2
And when we found there's a room we're both in
[Pre-Chorus]
C
We get Chinese food in small white boxes
Fsus2
Live the life we saw in Friends
Gsus4
Your room, it barely fits the mattress
G
Wake up, leave for work again
C
The wind,
it seems to blow right through us
Fsus2
Down jackets are the trend
Gsus4
The rush of rushing deep into love
G C
English girl in an American town
[Chorus]
C/E
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer,
Fsus2
then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
G C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
C/E
Feet are three feet off the ground
Fsus2
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
G C
My English girl in an American town
[Post-Chorus]
C/E Fsus2 G
In an American town
[Verse 2]
C
Days come and go
Gadd11
But it ends when doors close
Fsus2
And the scent of your perfume's on me
C
You're useless with your phone
Gadd11
Electric when oneonone
Fsus2
I thought I would be more nervous,
darlin'
[Pre-Chorus]
C
We watch comedies and miss the endings
Fsus2
Conversations till the dawn
Gsus4
Any change in tide, we push against it
G
Challenge meanings in the songs
C
And head out without a reservation
Fsus2
Drinkin' out of paper bags
Gsus4
And wasting time is time not wasted
G C
With my English girl in an American town
[Chorus]
C/E
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer,
Fsus2
then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
G C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
C/E
Feet are three feet off the ground
Fsus2
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
G
My English girl in an American town
[Bridge]
And when our eyes are closed together,
I can't explain
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
And rebuild when it breaks down
[Pre-Chorus]
C
We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
Fsus2
From, mostly, the Bowery Bar
Gsus4
What a perfect day to fall in love on
G
What a way to make a start
C
And it appears,
when you think all is lost
Then,
Fsus2 Gsus4
you don't remember when it started
Never have to pretend
G C
With my English girl in an American town
[Chorus]
C/E
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer,
Fsus2
then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
G C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
C/E
Feet are three feet off the ground
Fsus2
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
G C
English girl in an American town
[Outro]
C/E
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer,
Fsus2
then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
G C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
C/E
Feet are three feet off the ground
Fsus2
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
