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
Chorus: G D And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again G D That’s the kinda heartbreak time could never mend Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again G D Em Cadd9 And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name G D Em And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away Cadd9 G I’d never walk Cornelia Street again D Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again Verse 2: G Windows flung right open, autumn air D Em Cadd9 Jacket ’round my shoulders is yours G We bless the rains on Cornelia Street D Em Cadd9 Memorize the creaks in the floor G Back when we were card sharks, playing games D Em Cadd9 I thought you were leading me on G I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street D Em Cadd9 Before you even knew I was gone Pre-Chorus: G But then you called, showed your hand D I turned around before I hit the tunnel Em Cadd9 Sat on the roof, you and I Chorus: G D And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again G D That’s the kinda heartbreak time could never mend Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again G D Em Cadd9 And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name G D Em And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away Cadd9 G I’d never walk Cornelia Street again D Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again Bridge: D You hold my hand on the street Em Walk me back to that apartment Cadd9 Years ago, we were just inside D Barefoot in the kitchen Em Sacred new beginnings Cadd9 That became my religion, listen Chorus: G G/B I hope I never lose you G/B Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again G G/B Cadd9 Oh, never again G D Em Cadd9 And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name G D Em And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away Cadd9 G I’d never walk Cornelia Street again D Em Cadd9 I’d never walk Cornelia Street again Post-Chorus: G D I don’t wanna lose you (Hope it never ends) Em Cadd9 I don’t wanna lose you (Yeah) Outro: G "I rent a place on Cornelia Street" G/B Em Cadd9 I say casually in the car
