Cornelia Street

We were in the [C]backseat

Drunk on something [G]stronger than the drinks in the [Am]bar [F]

"I rent a [C]place on Cornelia Street"

I [G]say casually in the [Am]car[F]

We were a [C]fresh page on the desk

[G]Filling in the blanks as we [Am]go[F]

As if the [C]street lights pointed in an [G]arrow head

Leading us [Am]home[F]

 

And I hope I never [C]lose you, hope it never [G]ends

I'd never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again

That's the kinda [C]heartbreak time could never [G]mend

I'd never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again

And baby, [C]I get mystified[G] by how this [Am]city screams your [F]name

And baby, [C]I'm so terrified[G] of if you [Am]ever walk away

[F]I'd never walk Cornelia Street [C]again

I'd [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again[F]

 

Windows flung right [C]open, autumn air

[G]Jacket 'round my shoulders is [Am]yours[F]

We bless the [C]rains on Cornelia Street

[G]Memorize the creaks in the [Am]floor[F]

Back when we were [C]card sharks, playing games

[G]I thought you were leading me [Am]on[F]

I packed my [C]bags, left Cornelia Street

[G]Before you even knew I was [Am]gone[F]

 

But then you [G]called, showed your hand

I turned [Am]around before I hit the tunnel

[F]Sat on the roof, you and I

 

I hope I never [C]lose you, hope it never [G]ends

I'd never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again

That's the kinda [C]heartbreak time could never [G]mend

I'd never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again

And baby, [C]I get mystified[G] by how this [Am]city screams your [F]name

And baby, [C]I'm so terrified[G] of if you [Am]ever walk away

[F]I'd never walk Cornelia Street [C]again

I'd [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again[F]

 

You hold my [G]hand on the street

Walk me [Am]back to that apartment

Years [F]ago, we were just inside

Barefoot in the [G]kitchen

Sacred new [Am]beginnings

That became my [F]religion, listen

 

I hope I never [C]lose you[G]

I'd never walk [Am]Cornelia Street again[F]

[C]Oh[G], never [Am]again[F]

And baby, [C]I get [G]mystified by how this [Am]city screams your [F]name

And baby, [C]I'm so terrified[G] of if you [Am]ever walk [F]away

I'd [F]never walk Cornelia Street [C]again

I'd [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again[F]

 

I don't wanna [C]lose you (Hope it never [G]ends)

 

I don't wanna [Am]lose you [F](Yeah)

 

"I rent a [C]place on Cornelia Street"

I [G]say casually in the [Am]car[F]
