Remove Ads[Verse 1]
FWe're a long way from home
GHaven't seen you in so long
CBut it all came back in one moment
FAnd the year started cold
GBut I didn't notice at all
CAnd when we found there's a room we're both in
[Pre-Chorus]
F CWe get Chinese food in small white boxes
Live the life we saw in Friends
GYour room, it barely fits the mattress
Wake up, leave for work again
FmThe wind, it seems to blow right through us
CDown jackets are the trend
GThe rush of rushing deep into love
[Chorus]
FEnglish girl in an American town
FmNo elevator to the fifth floor
CI'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
GI wish time would freeze
FDungarees over the hoodie, we're out
FmFeet are three feet off the ground
CLost in love and we don't wanna be found
GIt's just you and me
F FmMy English girl in an American town..
C GIn an American town..
[Verse 2]
FDays come and go
GBut it ends when doors close
CAnd the scent of your perfume's on me
FYou're useless with your phone
GElectric when one-on-one
CI thought I would be more nervous, darlin'
[Pre-Chorus]
FWe watch comedies and miss the endings
CConversations till the dawn
GAny change in tide, we push against it
Challenge meanings in the songs
FmAnd head out without a reservation
CDrinkin' out of paper bags
GAnd wasting time is time not wasted
[Chorus]
FEnglish girl in an American town
FmNo elevator to the fifth floor
CI'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
GI wish time would freeze
FDungarees over the hoodie, we're out
FmFeet are three feet off the ground
CLost in love and we don't wanna be found
GIt's just you and me
GmMy English girl in an American town
[Bridge]
Fm CAnd when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
G GmHow the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
Fm CWe can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
GAnd rebuild when it breaks down
[Pre-Chorus]
FmWe drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
CFrom, mostly, the Bowery Bar
GWhat a perfect day to fall in love on
What a way to make a start
FmAnd it appears, when you think all is lost
C GThen, you don't remember when it started
Never have to pretend
[Chorus]
FEnglish girl in an American town
FmNo elevator to the fifth floor
CI'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
GI wish time would freeze
FDungarees over the hoodie, we're out
FmFeet are three feet off the ground
CLost in love and we don't wanna be found
GIt's just you and me
FEnglish girl in an American town
FmNo elevator to the fifth floor
CI'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
GI wish time would freeze
FDungarees over the hoodie, we're out
FmFeet are three feet off the ground
CLost in love and we don't wanna be found
GIt's just you and me
FMy English girl in an American town
