American Town chords by Ed Sheeran

• Capo on 6th

♫ 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
