[Intro]
Am, F, G, E
[Strophe]
Am                          F 
It started on a weekend in May 
      G 
I was looking for attention 
E 
needed intervention   
Am                       F 
Felt somebody looking at me 
       G 
With a powder white complexion 
E (stop) 
feeling the connection  
    F                    G 
The way she looked was so ridiculous 
      E 
Every single step 
       Am 
Had me waiting for the next  
F                       G 
Before I knew it, it was serious 
E 
Dragged me out the bar 
E 
To the backseat of a car
[Refrain]
         Am 
When the lights go out, 
                 F 
she's all I ever think about 
                    G 
The picture burning in my brain 
       G 
kissing in the rain 
  E                             Am 
I can't forget my English love affair 
                        F 
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away 
                 G 
The movie playing in my head 
       G 
Of her king size bed 
        E 
Means I can't forget my 
               Am, F, G 
English love affair 
E 
My English love affair
[Strophe]
Am                             F 
Next thing we were back at her place 
  G 
A hideaway in Mayfair  
E 
all the great and good there  
Am                            F 
Drinking all the way to third base 
G 
Princes getting naked 
E (stop) 
Falling on their faces  
F                    G 
The story line was so ridiculous 
E 
Every single step had me  
Am 
begging for the next 
 F                       G 
Before I knew it, it was serious 
E 
Dragged me up the stairs and it 
E 
wasn't ending there
[Refrain]
         Am 
When the lights go out, 
                 F 
she's all I ever think about 
                    G 
The picture burning in my brain 
       G 
kissing in the rain 
   E                              Am 
I can't forget my English love affair 
                          F 
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away 
                 G 
The movie playing in my head 
       G 
Of her king size bed 
        E 
Means I can't forget my 
               Am, F, G, E 
English love affair
[Pont]
           F 
When I got out I knew that 
  
nobody I knew would be 
G 
believing me 
            F 
I look back now and know that 
  
nobody could ever take the 
G 
memory
[Refrain]
         Am 
When the lights go out, 
                 F 
she's all I ever think about 
                    G 
The picture burning in my brain 
       G 
kissing in the rain 
  E                              Am 
I can't forget my English love affair 
                          F 
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away 
                 G 
The movie playing in my head 
       G 
Of her king size bed 
        E 
Means I can't forget my 
                Am, F, G 
English love affair  
E                 Am, F, G 
My English love affair 
E                   Am 
My English love affair
