A#                                  A#/D   D#
I picked the right place, the wrong time I made
                           A#
a promise it was gonna be fine
                           Gm         F
I've got a laundry list of all these famous lies
A#                                A#/D  D#
I told myself just so I could get by I wrote
                              A#
a record to just make the sunshine
                             Gm      F        D#
Whatever helps me help you sleep every night away

Chorus:
                         A#             Gm
Don't blame my English blood for this American
 F
heartache
         D#        A#               F
Sending postcards home from all my lives mistakes
         D#     A#              Gm       F
Maybe I lost myself somewhere along the way
          D#     A#                F
If I'm beyond repair that's just apart of me
               D#        A#             Gm
Don't blame my English blood for this American
 F
heartache
               D#         A#            F
Don't blame my English blood for this American
heartache

I get scared when I get too high
A little nervous when I’m sad and can’t cry
I think I’m broken, but I don’t know why
Is my nose bleeding?
I wanna scream til my lungs don’t work
I wanna see you in my old t-shirt
I wanna fuck ‘til the pain don’t hurt-
“It’s temporary” (“Uh, which part?”)

Chorus:
Don’t blame my English blood for this
American heart-ache
Sending post cards home from all my “last mistakes”
Maybe I lost myself somewhere along the way
If I’m beyond repair, that’s just a part of me

A#/D            D#                 Gm   F
There's no changing who I was and you know exactly
where I've been
A#/D    D#             F
But I know who I am, who I am is good enough for me
A#/D            D#                 Gm   F
There's no changing who I was and you know exactly
where I've been
A#/D    D#             F
But I know who I am, who I am is good enough for me
A#/D     D#     Gm       F
English blood, American heartache

Chorus:
Don’t blame my English blood for
this American heart-ache
Sending postcards home from all
my “last mistakes”
Maybe I’ll find myself somewhere along the way
I know, it’s part of me

Don’t blame my English blood for
this American heart-ache
Don’t blame my English blood for
this American heart-ache
