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
I said casually in the car
