Tone: [C]
-Intro-
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
-Verse 1-
We were in the back[C]backseat
Drunk on something [G]stronger than the drinks in the bar
[Am] [F] "I rent a [C]place on Cornelia Street"
[G]I say casually in the car
[Am] [F] We were a [C]fresh page on the desk
[G]Filling in the blanks as we go
[Am] [F] As if the [C]street
lights pointed in [G]an arrowhead, leading us home
-Chorus-
[Am] [F] And I hope I never [C]lose you, hope it never [G]ends
I'd never walk Cor[Am]Cornelia Street again
[F]That's the kind of h[C]heartbreak time could never m[G]mend
I'd never walk Cor[Am]Cornelia Street again
[F]And baby, I [C]get mystif[G]mystified by how this c[Am]city screams your name
[F]And baby, I'm [C]so terrified [G]of if you e[Am]ever walk away
I'd [F]never walk Cornelia Street a[C]again
I'd [G]never walk Cornelia Street a[Am]again
-Verse 2-
[F]Windows swung right o[C]open, autumn air
[G]Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
[Am] [F] We bless the [C]rains on Cornelia Street
[G]Memorize the creaks in the floor
[Am] [F] Back when we were [C]card sharks, playing games
[G]I thought you were leading me on
[Am] [F] I packed my [C]bags, left Cornelia Street
[G]Before you even knew I was gone
[Am] [F] But then you [G]called, showed your hand
I turned ar[Am]around before I hit the tunnel
[F]Sat on the roof, you and I
-Chorus-
[F]I hope I never l[C]lose you, hope it never e[G]ends
I'd never walk Cor[Am]Cornelia Street again
[F]That's the kind of h[C]heartbreak time could never m[G]mend
I'd never walk Cor[Am]Cornelia Street again
[F]And baby, I [C]get mystif[G]mystified by how this c[Am]city screams your name
[F]And baby, I'm [C]so terrified [G]of if you e[Am]ever walk away
I'd [F]never walk Cornelia Street a[C]again
I'd [G]never walk Cornelia Street a[Am]again
-Bridge-
[F]I hope I never l[C]lose you, hope it never e[G]ends
I'd never walk Corn[Am]Cornelia Street again
[F] [G] Oh, never[C]never a[G]again
[C] [G]
-Chorus-
And I[F]I lost y[C]you
The [Am]one I was [G]dancing with
In New [F]York, no [C]shoes
Looked [Am]up at the [G]sky, and it was
The [F]burgundy on my T-shirt
When you [C]splashed your wine into me
And how the [Am]blood rushed into my cheeks
So [G]scarlet, it was
The [F]mark they saw on my collarbonе
The [C]rust that grew between tеlephones
The [Am]lips I used to call "home"
So [G]scarlet, it was maroon [F] [C] [Am] [G] maroon
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
The [F]burgundy on my T-shirt
When you [C]splashed your wine into me
And how the [Am]blood rushed into my cheeks
So [G]scarlet, it was maroon
The [F]mark they saw on my collarbonе
The [C]rust that grew between tеlephones
The [Am]lips I used to call "home"
So [G]scarlet, it was ma[F]maroon
