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