We're a long way from home

Haven't seen you in so long

And the year started cold
G/BG/B
But I didn't notice at all
Csus2Csus2
When we found there's a room we're both in
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Am7Am7
We eat Chinese food in small white boxes
C majorC
Live the life we saw in Friends
G+G
Your room, it barely fits the mattress

Wake up, leave for work again
Am7Am7
The wind, it seems to blow right through us
C majorC
Down jackets are the trend
D MajorD
The rush of rushing deep into love

G5G5
English girl in an American town
G/BG/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
Cadd9Cadd9
Ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
Dsus4Dsus4
I wish time would freeze
G5G5
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
G/BG/B
Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
D MajorD
It's just you and me

My English girl in an American town (na na na na)

In an American town (na na na na)

Days come and go
G/BG/B
But they end when doors close
Cadd9Cadd9

You're useless with your phone
G/BG/B
Electric when one-on-one
Cadd9Cadd9
I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'

Am7Am7
We watch comedies and miss the endings
C majorC
Conversations till the dawn

Then head out without a reservation
C majorC
Drinking out of paper bags
D MajorD
And wasting time is time not wasted

With my English girl in an American town

And we build when it breaks down

We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups

From, mostly the Bowery bar
