Ed Sheeran - American Town Chords

[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

[chorus]
                     C
English girl in an American town
                   Em
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
                    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
Any change in 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

[chorus]
                           C
For my English girl in an American town
                   Em
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
                    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
And when our eyes are closed together,
             F
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
                     F
we can change how it takes
                     G
And rebuild 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

[chorus]
                            C
With my English girl in an American town
                   Em
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
                    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

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
                    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
   N.C.
