Verse 1:
C
We were in the backseat

Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar

"I rent a place on Cornelia ??Street"

I say casually in the car

Filling in the blanks as we go

As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head

Leading us home

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

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

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
Pre-Chorus:

But then you called, showed your hand

I turned around before I hit the tunnel

Sat on the roof, you and I
