[Intro] C G F
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
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
[The bolter]
G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
F
When she was six in frigid water
C
And I can confirm she made
G
A curious child, ever reviled
F
By everyone except her own father
C
With a quite bewitching face
G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
F
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
C
Then she runs like it's a race
G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
F
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"
[Refrão]
C
Started with a kiss
G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
G
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
F
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing
G Am
All her fuckin' lives
F
Flashed before her eyes
G Am
It feels like the time
F
She fell through the ice
C
Then came out alive
[Ponte]
G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
C
First, they're off to the races
And she's laughing drawin' aces
G
But, none of it is changin'
Am
That the chariot is waitin'
C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
There's an escape in escaping
( Cornelia street X the bolter)
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
C
Started with a kiss
G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
G
But she's got the best stories
You can be sure
F
That as she was leaving
It felt like freedom
( Cornelia street X the bolter)
C
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
F
But as she was leaving, it felt like freedom
C
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
F
But as she was leaving, it felt like freedom
