Intro: C  G  Am  F
 
Verse 1:
               C
We were in the backseat
                   G                               Am   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             F
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
