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