[Verse]

        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
                         
Ring on the buzzer, then 
       Cadd9
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
                
Lost in love and  
         Cadd9
we don't wanna be found 
                  D
It's just you and me
                       G5          
My English girl in an American town 
             G/B
(na na na na)
       Cadd9          
In an American town 
              Dsus4
(na na na na) 
 
 
[Verse]

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]
                       
With my English girl in   
    G5
an American town
                   G/B
No elevator to the fifth floor, 

I'll
                    
Ring on the buzzer, 
             Cadd9
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
                 
Lost in love and 
         Cadd9
we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
                       Am7
My English girl in an American town
 
 
[Bridge]
                      Em              
And when our eyes are closed together, 
                G
I can't explain
                      D
How the scent of your perfume takes me

 to a higher place
Am7                 Em      
  We can watch it unfold or 
                     G
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
                    
Ring on the buzzer, 
             Cadd9
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
                  
Lost in love and   
         Cadd9
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
                    
Ring on the buzzer, 
            Cadd9
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
                 
Lost in love and  
         Cadd9
we don't wanna be found
                  D
It's just you and me
   N.C.
My English girl in 

an American town
