G G/F# Em
It's too cold in this downtown apartment
G G/F# Em C
No furniture so we sit on the carpet
G G/F#
Heating's gone so we fill the bath
Em C
with boiling water from the kettle
G D G
What a beautiful way to start this
G G/F# Em
I just met you today for the first time
G G/F# Em C
All I know is your name and your birth sign
G G/F#
I've not got any curtains to draw
Em C
only a mattress sat on the floor
G D G
Won't you lay with me darling all night?
C D
And I've got a movie we can watch,
G G/F# Em
we'll eat popcorn from a coffee cup
C G D
Not the fanciest place, this home
G
Down in the downtown apartment
G/F#
is where two broken hearts went
Em C D G
to see what it feels like to fall for a stranger
G
Caught in a landslide of something
G/F#
Darling now I'm asking one thing:
Em C D G
is this what it feels like to fall for a stranger?
G G/F# Em
I feel love in this north London flat
G G/F# Em C
Only God knows where I found it at
G G/F#
Maybe fate pulled me into the pub
Em C
Just to meet someone who'd give me their love
G D G
I just liked how you kissed me like that
G G/F# Em
Never thought I'd be taking you home
G G/F# Em C
I assumed I'd be sleeping alone
G G/F#
'pologies for the mess that I've made
Em C
I wasn't expecting you'd stay at my place
G D G
What a beautiful way to start this
C D
And I've got a t-shirt you can wear,
G G/F# Em
and just a blanket that we both can share
C G D
Not the fanciest place, this home
G
Down in the downtown apartment
G/F#
is where two broken hearts went
Em C D G
to see what it feels like to fall for a stranger
G
Caught in a landslide of something
G/F#
Darling now I'm asking one thing:
Em C D G
is this what it feels like to fall for a stranger?
Am7 D
And I've been longing to see
G G/F# Em
what's meant for you and me
C D G
but all along I've been falling for a stranger
