Timeless

[C]Down the block, there's an antique shop

And [G]something in my head said, "Stop, " so I walked in

[Am]On the counter was a [G]cardboard box

And the [F]sign said, "Photos: twenty-five cents each"

[C]Black and white, saw a '30s bride

And [G]two lovers laughin' on the porch of their first house

[Am]The kinda love that you [G]only find once in a [F]lifetime

[G]And that's when I [Am]called you and it's [F]so hard to explain, but

[G]In those photos, [Am]I saw us [F]instead

[G]And, somehow, I [Am]know that you and [F]I would've found each other

[G]In another life, you [Am]still would've turned my [F]head even [G]if wе'd met

On a [C]crowded street in 1944

[G]And you werе headed off to fight in the war

[Am]You still would've been [G]mine

We would have been [F]timeless

I would've [C]read your love letters every single night

[G]And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right

[Am]And you would've been [G]fine

We would have been [F]timeless

'Cause [C]I believe that [G]we were supposed to [F]find this

So, even in a different [Am]life, you still would've been [F]mine

We would've been [C]timeless

[C]I had to smile when it caught my eye

There was [G]one of a teenage couple in the driveway

[Am]Holdin' hands on the [G]way to a dance

And the [F]date on the back said 1958

[C]Which brought me back to the first time I saw you

[G]Time stood still like somethin' in this old shop

[Am]I thought about it as I [G]started lookin' 'round

At these [F]precious things that time forgot

[G]That's when I [Am]came upon a book [F]covered in cobwebs

[G]Story of a romance [Am]torn apart by [F]fate

[G]Hundreds of [Am]years ago, they [F]fell in love, like we did

[G]And I'd die for [Am]you in the same [F]way if I first [G]saw your face

In the [C]fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land

[G]And I was forced to marry another man

[Am]You still would've been [G]mine

We would have been [F]timeless

I would've [C]read your love letters every single night

[G]And run away and left it all behind

[Am]You still would've been [G]mine

We would've been [F]timeless

'Cause [C]I believe that [G]we were supposed to [F]find this

So, even in a different [Am]life, you still would've been [G]mine

We would've been [C]timeless [G] [Am] [G] [F]

[G]Time breaks [Am]down your [F]mind and body

[G]Don't you [Am]let it touch your [F]soul

It was like an [G]age-old [Am]classic

The [F]first time that you saw me

The [G]story started [Am]when you said, [F]"Hello"

In a [C]crowded room a few short years ago

[G]And sometimes there's no proof, you just know

[Am]You're always gonna be [G]mine

We're gonna be [F]

I'm gonna [C]love you when our hair is turnin' gray

We'll have a [G]cardboard box of photos of the life we've made

[Am]And you'll say, [G]"Oh my, we really were [F]timeless"

We're gonna be [C]timeless, [G]timeless

[Am]You still would've been [G]mine

We would've been [F]

Even if we'd met on a [C]crowded street in 1944 [G]

[Am]You still would've been [G]mine

We would've been [F]

[C]Down the block, there's an antique shop

And [G]somethin' in my head said, "Stop, " so I walked [F]in
