American Town

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

Pre-Chorus
       C 
We get Chinese food in small white boxes 
F 
 Live the life we saw in Friends 
     G 
Your room, it barely fits the mattress 
G 
 Wake up, leave for work again 
    C 
The wind, it seems to blow right through us 
F 
 Down jackets are the trend 
    G 
The rush, we're rushing deep into love 


                     C 
English girl in an American town 
                   Em 
No elevator to the fifth floor 
                                     F 
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down 
                  G 
I wish time would freeze 
                   C 
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out 
                    Em 
Feet are three feet off the ground 
                          F 
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found 
                  G 
It's just you and me 
                       C            Em 
My English girl in an American town 
       F            G 
In an American town 


Verse 2:
C 
Days come and go 
       G 
But it ends windows closed 
        F 
And the scent of your perfume's on me 
          C 
You're useless with your phone 
        G 
Electric when one-on-one 
            F 
I thought I would be more nervous, darlin' 

Pre-Chorus
         C 
We watch comedies and miss the endings 
F 
 Conversations till the dawn 
         G 
And your changin' tide, we push against it 
G 
 Challenge meanings in the songs 
    C 
And head out without a reservation 
F 
 Drinkin' out of paper bags 
    G 
And wasting time is time not wasted 



                           C 
For my English girl in an American town 
                   Em 
No elevator to the fifth floor 
                                     F 
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down 
                  G 
I wish time would freeze 
                   C 
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out 
                    Em 
Feet are three feet off the ground 
                          F 
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found 
                  G 
It's just you and me 
                       Dm 
My English girl in an American town 


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

Pre-Chorus
         C 
We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups 
    F 
From, mostly the Bowery bar 
       G 
What a perfect day to fall in love on 
G 
 What a way to make a start 
         C 
And it appears, when you think all is lost 
F                                 G 
 Then, you don't remember when it started 

Never have to pretend 


                            C 
With my English girl in an American town 
                   Em 
No elevator to the fifth floor 
                                     F 
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down 
                  G 
I wish time would freeze 
                   C 
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out 
                    Em 
Feet are three feet off the ground 
                          F 
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found 
                  G 
It's just you and me 
                     C 
English girl in an American town 
                   Em 
No elevator to the fifth floor 
                                     F 
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down 
                  G 
I wish time would freeze 
                   C 
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out 
                    Em 
Feet are three feet off the ground 
                          F 
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found 
                  G 
It's just you and me
