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

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

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

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends -I'd never walk Cornelia Street again-
