Capo: 6th fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
We're a long way from home
G
Haven't seen you in so long
C D
But it all came back in one moment
G
And the year started cold
G
But I didn't notice at all
C D
When we found there's a room we're both in
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
We ate Chinese food in small, white boxes
C
Live the life we saw in Friends
G
Your room, it barely fits the mattress
D
Wake up, leave for work again
Am
And head out without a reservation
C
Drinking out of paper bags
D
And wasting time is time not wasted
[Chorus]
G
My English girl in an American town
G
No elevator to the fifth floor
C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
D
I wish time would freeze
G
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
G
Feet are three feet off the ground
C
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
D
It's just you and me
G
My English girl in an American town, na-na-na, na-na
C D
In an American town, na-na-na, na-na
[Verse 2]
G
And the days come and go
G
But in the end, windows closed
C D
And the scent of the perfume on me
G
Put your Swiss on your phone
G
Electric when one on one
C D
I thought I would be more nervous, darling
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
We watch comedies then miss the ending
C
Conversations till the dawn
G
And, your changing tide, we push against it
D
Challenge meanings in the songs
Am
Then head out without a reservation
C
Drinking out of paper bags
D
And wasting time is time not wasted
[Chorus]
G
My English girl in an American town
G
No elevator to the fifth floor
C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
D
I wish time would freeze
G
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
G
Feet are three feet off the ground
C
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
D
It's just you and me
Am
My English girl in an American town
[Bridge]
Em
And, when our eyes are close together
G
I can't explain
D Am
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
Em G
We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
D
And we build when it breaks down
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups from
C
Mostly the Bowery bar
G
What a perfect day to fall in love on
D
What a way to make a start
Am
It appears when you think all is lost
C D
Then, you don't remember when it started
Never have to pretend with
[Chorus]
G
My English girl in an American town
G
No elevator to the fifth floor
C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
D
I wish time would freeze
G
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
G
Feet are three feet off the ground
C
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
D
It's just you and me
[Chorus]
G
My English girl in an American town
G
No elevator to the fifth floor
C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
D
I wish time would freeze
G
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
G
Feet are three feet off the ground
C
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
D
It's just you and me

In an American town, na-na-na, na-na
[Verse 2]
And the days come and go
[But the end?] window's closed
And the scent of the perfume on me
Put your [?] with your phone
Electric when one on one
I thought I would be more nervous, darling
[Pre-Chorus]
We watch comedies then miss the ending
Conversations till the dawn
And, your changing tide, we push against it
