[Intro]
C G F
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
C
“I rent a place on Cornelia Street”
G Am F
I said casually in the car
