Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: G We were in the backseat D Em Cadd9 Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar G "I rent a place on Cornelia Street" D Em Cadd9 I say casually in the car G D We were a fresh page on the desk Em Cadd9 Filling in the blanks as we go G D As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head Em Cadd9 Leading us home
