• Difficulty: Intermediate

From the live acoustic video.

🎸 Verse 1:
        G5
We're a long way from home
        G/B
Haven't seen you in so long
       Csus2
But it all came back in one moment
        G5
And the year started cold
             G/B
But I didn't notice at all
        Csus2
When we found there's a room we're both in

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
       Am7
We eat 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
    Am7
The wind, it seems to blow right through us
C
 Down jackets are the trend
    D
The rush of rushing deep into love


🎸 Chorus:
                    G5
English girl in an American town
                   G/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
                                Cadd9
Ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                       Dsus4
I wish time would freeze
                   G5
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                    G/B
Feet are three feet off the ground
                          Cadd9
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
                       G5                        G/B
My English girl in an American town (na na na na)
       Cadd9                     Dsus4
In an American town (na na na na)


🎸 Verse 2:
G5
Days come and go
         G/B
But they end when doors close
        Cadd9
And the scent of your perfume's on me
          G5
You're useless with your phone
         G/B
Electric when one-on-one
            Cadd9
I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
         Am7
We watch comedies and miss the endings
C
 Conversations till the dawn
    G
Any change in tide we push against it
D
 Challenge meanings in the song
     Am7
Then head out without a reservation
C
 Drinking out of paper bags
    D
And wasting time is time not wasted


🎸 Chorus:
                            G5
With my English girl in an American town
                   G/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
                                Cadd9
Ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                       Dsus4
I wish time would freeze
                   G5
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                    G/B
Feet are three feet off the ground
                          Cadd9
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
                       Am7
My English girl in an American town


🎸 Bridge:
                      Em                              G
And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
                      D
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
Am7                 Em                           G
  We can watch it unfold or we can change how it tastes
                     Dsus4
And we build when it breaks down


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
         Am7
We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
    C
From, mostly the Bowery bar
       G
What a perfect day to fall in love on
D
 What a way to make a start
    Am7
It appears, when you think all is lost
    C
Then, you don't remember when
   Dsus4
It started never have to pretend


🎸 Chorus:
                    G5
English girl in an American town
                   G/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
                                Cadd9
Ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                       Dsus4
I wish time would freeze
                   G5
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                    G/B
Feet are three feet off the ground
                          Cadd9
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
                       G5
My English girl in an American town
                   G/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
                                Cadd9
Ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
                  Dsus4
I wish time would freeze
                   G5
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
                    G/B
Feet are three feet off the ground
                          Cadd9
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
   N.C.
My English girl in an American town
