Cornelia Street

Intro: C  G  F  

               C  
We were in the backseat  
                   G                               F  
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar  
          C  
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"  
G                     Am   F  
I say casually in the car  
          C  
We were a fresh page on the desk  
G                           Am  F  
Filling in the blanks as we go  
          C                           G  
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head  
           Am   F  
Leading us home  

                   C                       G  
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends  
               Am              F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
                 C                           G  
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend  
               Am              F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
          C          G                Am                     F  
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name  
          C           G              Am  
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away  
F                               C  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
    G                           Am   F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  

                    C  
Windows swung right open, autumn air  
G                             Am    F  
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours  
             C  
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street  
G                          Am    F  
Memorize the creaks in the floor  
                  C  
Back when we were card sharks, playing games  
G                             Am   F  
I thought you were leading me on  
            C  
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street  
G                          Am   F  
Before you even knew I was gone  

             G  
But then you called, showed your hand  
         Am  
I turned around before I hit the tunnel  
F  
Sat on the roof, you and I  

                   C                       G  
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends  
               Am              F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
                 C                           G  
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend  
               Am              F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
          C          G                Am                     F  
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name  
          C           G              Am  
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away  
F                               C  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
    G                           Am   F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  

            G  
You hold my hand on the street  
        Am  
Walk me back to that apartment  
       F  
Years ago, we were just inside  
                G  
Barefoot in the kitchen  
           Am  
Sacred new beginnings  
                  F  
That became my religion, listen  

                C        G  
I hope I never lose you  
                   Am            F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
C   G        Am    F  
  Oh, never again  
          C           G               Am                     F  
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name  
          C            G             Am             F  
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away  
    F                          C  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  
    G                           Am   F  
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again  

               C                      G  
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends (I'd never walk Cornelia Street again)  
              Am       F  
I don't wanna lose you (Yeah)
