American Town chords by Ed Sheeran (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
         F
We're a long way from home
          G
Haven't seen you in so long
        C
But it all came back in one moment
          F
And the year started cold
              G
But I didn't notice at all
              C
And when we found there's a room we're both in

Pre-Chorus:
         F                            C
We get Chinese food in small white boxes
Live the life we saw in Friends
       G
Your room, it barely fits the mattress

Wake up, leave for work again
     Fm
The wind, it seems to blow right through us
 C
Down jackets are the trend
     G
The rush of rushing deep into love

Chorus:
                    F
English girl in an American town
                    Fm
No elevator to the fifth floor
                                      C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                    G
I wish time would freeze
                       F
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                     Fm
Feet are three feet off the ground
                           C
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  G
It's just you and me
                        F          Fm
My English girl in an American town
        C           G
In an American town

Verse 2:
 F
Days come and go
         G
But it ends when doors close
          C
And the scent of your perfume's on me
            F
You're useless with your phone
           G
Electric when one-on-one
             C
I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'

Pre-Chorus:
          F
We watch comedies and miss the endings
 C
Conversations till the dawn
      G
Any change in tide, we push against it

Challenge meanings in the songs
     Fm
And head out without a reservation
  C
Drinkin' out of paper bags
      G
And wasting time is time not wasted

Chorus:
                    F
English girl in an American town
                    Fm
No elevator to the fifth floor
                                      C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                    G
I wish time would freeze
                       F
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                     Fm
Feet are three feet off the ground
                           C
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  G
It's just you and me
                        Gm
My English girl in an American town

Bridge:
                        Fm                         C
And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
                       G                            Gm
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
                  Fm                             C
We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
                       G
And rebuild when it breaks down

Pre-Chorus:
          Fm
We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
        C
From, mostly, the Bowery Bar
         G
What a perfect day to fall in love on

What a way to make a start
          Fm
And it appears, when you think all is lost
       C                           G
Then, you don't remember when it started

Never have to pretend

Chorus:
                    F
English girl in an American town
                    Fm
No elevator to the fifth floor
                                      C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                    G
I wish time would freeze
                       F
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                     Fm
Feet are three feet off the ground
                           C
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  G
It's just you and me
                    F
English girl in an American town
                    Fm
No elevator to the fifth floor
                                      C
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                    G
I wish time would freeze
                       F
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                     Fm
Feet are three feet off the ground
                           C
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  G
It's just you and me
                        F
