G
We were in the backseat
D/F# Em7 C9
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
G
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
D/F# Em7 C9
I say casually in the car
G
We were a fresh page on the desk
D/F# Em7 C9
Filling in the blanks as we go
G D/F#
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head
Em7 C9
Leading us home
G D/F#
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D/F#
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D/F# Em7 C9
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
G D/F# Em7
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
C9 G
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
D/F# Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G
Windows swung right open, autumn air
D/F# Em7 C9
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
G
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
D/F# Em7 C9
Memorize the creaks in the floor
G
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
D/F# Em7 C9
I thought you were leading me on
G
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
D/F# Em7 C9
Before you even knew I was gone
D
But then you called, showed your hand
Em7
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
C9
Sat on the roof, you and I
G D/F#
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D/F#
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D/F# Em7 C9
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
G D/F# Em7
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
C9 G
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
D/F# Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
D
You hold my hand on the street
Em7
Walk me back to that apartment
C9
Years ago, we were just inside
D
Barefoot in the kitchen
Em7
Sacred new beginnings
C9
That became my religion, listen
G D/F#
And I hope I never lose you
Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D/F# Em7 C9
Ooh, never again
G D/F# Em7 C9
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
G D/F# Em7
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
C9 G
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
D/F# Em7 C9
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G D
I don't wanna lose you
Em7 C9
I don't wanna lose you
G
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
D/F# Em7 C9
