As mentioned in a comment, if you want to use these chords with the official lyric video (which,
unfortunately, is the one the app will play instead of the link I included...) you would need to put
your capo on 5 instead of 6.

[Verse 1]
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 Cadd9 Ring on the buzzer, 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 Cadd9 Lost in love and we don't wanna be found D It's just you and me G5 G/B My English girl in an American town (na na na na) Cadd9 Dsus4 In an American town (na na na na)
[Verse 2]
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]
G5 With my English girl in an American town G/B No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll Cadd9 Ring on the buzzer, 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 Cadd9 Lost in love and we don't wanna be found D It's just you and me Am7 My English girl in an American town
[Bridge]
Em G And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain D How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place Am7 Em G We can watch it unfold or 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 Cadd9 Ring on the buzzer, 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 Cadd9 Lost in love and 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 Cadd9 Ring on the buzzer, 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 Cadd9 Lost in love and we don't wanna be found D It's just you and me
