verse 1 
C 
Let's turn off our phones tonight 
      G6 
And rely on the stars 
Am 
We've been so lost lately 
      E 
We forgot who we are 
    C 
But I got everything I need, baby 
       G6 
In the palms of your touch 
     Am 
In a world of dark distractions 
       E 
It can all get too much 

                   F 
So let's sit by an English river 
         C 
'Til the water runs dry 
               F 
Can we light a cigarette 
               G 
And talk about days gone by? 
              F 
We're neither saints or sinners 
              C 
So leave your history behind 
      F 
Let's grab a bottle and take it one day at a time 
        G 
Take it one day at a time 

verse 2 
  C 
I know you're feeling weighed down tonight 
    G6 
And you can't find the breaks 
      Am 
Every day is too long for you 
        E 
You are sworn to your fate 
           C 
But we got everything we need, baby 
       G6 
In the memories we make 
     Am 
In a world of reinventions 
     E 
It's never too late 

                   F 
So let's sit by an English river 
         C 
'Til the water runs dry 
               F 
Can we light a cigarette 
               G 
And talk about days gone by? 
              F 
We're neither saints or sinners 
              C 
So leave your history behind 
      F 
Let's grab a bottle and take it one day at a time 
        G 
Take it one day at a time, mmm 
                       F 
Oh, so let's sit by an English river 
         C 
'Til the water runs dry 
         F 
There is nothing that we've done wrong 
     G 
That can't be made right 
              F 
We're neither saints or sinners 
              C 
So leave your history behind 
      F 
Let's grab a bottle and take it 
G 
Grab a bottle and take it 
C                         F            G 
Grab a bottle and take it one day at a time
