American Town

We're a [C]long way from home Haven't [G]seen you in so long

But it [F]all came back in one moment

And the [C]year started cold But I didn't [G]notice at all

When we [F]found there's a room we're both in

 

We get [C]Chinese food in small white boxes [F]Live the life we saw in Friends

Your [G]room, it barely fits the mattress wake up, leave for work again

The [C]wind, it seems to blow right through us [F]down jackets are the trend

The [G]rush of rushing deep into love

 

English girl in an A[C]merican town No elevator to the fifth floor

I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll [F]be right down I wish time would [G]freeze

Dungarees over the [C]hoodie, we're out Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't [F]wanna be found It's just you and [G]me

My English girl in an A[C]merican town In an A[F]merican town [G]

 

[C]The days come and go But it [G]ends when doors close

And the [F]scent of your perfume's on me

You're use[C]less with your phone Electric [G]when one-on-one

I thought I [F]would be more nervous, darlin'

 

We watch [C]comedies and miss the endings [F]Conversations till the dawn

Any [G]change in tide, we push against it Challenge meanings in the songs

And [C]head out without a reservation [F]Drinkin' out of paper bags

And [G]wasting time is time not wasted

I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll [F]be right down I wish time would [G]freeze

Dungarees over the [C]hoodie, we're out Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't [F]wanna be found It's just you and [G]me

My English girl in an A[Dm]merican

 

And when our eyes are [Am]closed together, I can't ex[F]plain

How the scent of your [G]perfume takes me to a higher [Dm]place

We can watch it un[Am]fold or we can change how it [F]takes

And rebuild when it [G]breaks down

 

We drink [C]Moscow Mules and steal the cups From, [F]mostly, the Bowery Bar

What a [G]perfect day to fall in love on What a way to make it start

It ap[C]pears, when you think all is lost then, [F]you don't remember

When it [G]started never have to pretend
