Hi! This is my first tab but noticed nobody else had done anything for this song so
thought I'd get the ball rolling. It may not be 100% correct but it's how i choose to play it.
Song: English Town
Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Album: North
Email: dom_tuck@hotmail.co.uk
The Song rely's on three chords of Am, C and F only really changing on the solo should
you choose to play it and the interlude.
Am C F C
Come inside
Am C F C
The air I breathe
Am C F C
While the band still plays
Am C F C
It's the end of the coldest week
Am C F C
Come down into the sea
Am C F C
Cause everybody wants to get away sometimes
Am C F C
And everybody needs mistakes
Am
When the sun breaks
C F
Over the edge of an English town
C
It pulls me away
Am
From a bad dream
C
I don't know why
F
But I know I'm not
C Am
Ever going back
Verse:
Am C F C
In the dark we can lose our sleep
Am C F C
We can both be kind
Am C F C
Cause I don't need the pulling apart of sheets
Am C F C
Just to know who you are
Am C
When everybody wants to get away from something
F C
Everybody lose their way
Am
When the sun breaks
C F
Over the edge of an English town
C
It pulls me away
Am
From a bad dream
C
I don't know why
F
But I know I'm not
C Am
Ever going back
Interlude
F
It's a non stop voice
F
That can lead you on
F
But cannot change it
Am
When the sun breaks
C F
Over the edge of an English town
C
It pulls me away
Am
From a bad dream
C
I don't know why
F
But I know I'm not
C Am
Ever going back
Am C F
la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la-la
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall good, but not great. You have the right progression, It's just lined up incorrectly in parts, especially the first verse. The first couple lines should be:
Am C F C
Come inside The air I breathe
and the last couple lines:
Am C
and everybody wants to get away sometimes
F C
and everybody needs mistakes
There are instances like this throughout, those are the most glaring ones though. Basically just follow the Am C F C progression throughout the song and you can figure it all out.
My chord placements got ****ed up for some reason. Basically in those spots the progression was going twice as fast as it should have been
