C  G  Am  F
 

               C
We were in the backseat
                   G        
Drunk on something stronger 
                       Am   F
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                          
Filling in the blanks as we 
 Am  F
go
          C                           
As if the street lights pointed in an 
G
arrow head
           Am   F
Leading us home
 

                   C        
And I hope I never lose you, 
               G
hope it never ends
                  Am           
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 F
again
                 C          
That's the kinda heartbreak 
                 G
time could never mend
                  Am           
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 F
again
          C          G                
And baby, I get mystified by how this 
Am                     F
city screams your name
          C           G      
And baby, I'm so terrified of 
        Am
if you ever walk away
    F                          
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 C
again
    G                          
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 Am   F
again
 

                    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
 

             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
 

                   C        
And I hope I never lose you, 
               G
hope it never ends
                  Am           
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 F
again
                 C         
That's the kinda heartbreak 
                  G
time could never mend
                  Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
          C          G                
And baby, I get mystified by how this
Am                     F
city screams your name
          C           G              
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you 
Am
ever walk away
    F                          
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 C
again
    G                          
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 Am   F
again
 

            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
 

               C        G
I hope I never lose you
                  Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C    G    Am          F
  Oh-oh, never again
          C          G               
And baby, I get mystified by how this 
 Am                     F
city screams your name
          C           G              
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you

I'd never walk Cornelia Street

    G                          
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
 Am   F
again
 

              C        
I don't wanna lose you, 
              G
hope it never ends 
 
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
              Am        F
I don't wanna lose you Yeah
