[Opening]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
We were in the [C]backseat
Drunk on something [G]stronger than the drinks in the [Am]bar [F]
“I rent a [C]place on Cornelia Street”
[G]I say casually in the [Am]car [F]
We were a [C]fresh page on the desk
[G]Filling in the blanks as we [Am]go [F]
As if the [C]street lights pointed in an [G]arrow head
Leading us [Am]home [F]
[chorus]
And I hope I never [C]lose you, hope it never [G]ends
I’d never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again
That’s the kinda [C]heartbreak time could never [G]mend
I’d never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again
And baby, [C]I get [G]mystified by how this [Am]city screams your name [F]
And baby, [C]I’m so [G]terrified of if you [Am]ever walk away
[F]I’d never walk Cornelia Street [C]again
I’d [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again [F]
[section 2]
Windows swung right [C]open, autumn air
[G]Jacket ’round my shoulders is [Am]yours [F]
We bless the [C]rains on Cornelia Street
[G]Memorize the creaks in the [Am]floor [F]
Back when we were [C]card sharks, playing games
[G]I thought you were leading me [Am]on [F]
I packed my [C]bags, left Cornelia Street
[G]Before you even knew I was [Am]gone [F]
[section 3]
But then you [G]called, showed your hand
I turned [Am]around before I hit the tunnel
[F]Sat on the roof, you and I
[chorus]
And I hope I never [C]lose you, hope it never [G]ends
I’d never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again
That’s the kinda [C]heartbreak time could never [G]mend
I’d never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again
And baby, [C]I get [G]mystified by how this [Am]city screams your name [F]
And baby, [C]I’m so [G]terrified of if you [Am]ever walk away
[F]I’d never walk Cornelia Street [C]again
I’d [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again [F]
[section 4]
You hold my [G]hand on the street, walk me [Am]back to that apartment
Years [F]ago, we were just inside, barefoot in the [G]kitchen
Sacred new [Am]beginnings, that became my [F]religion, listen
[section 5]
I hope I never [C]lose you [G]
I’d never walk [Am]Cornelia Street [F]again
[C] [G]Oh, never [Am]again [F]
And baby, [C]I get [G]mystified by how this [Am]city screams your name [F]
And baby, [C]I’m so [G]terrified of if you [Am]ever walk away [F]
I’d [F]never walk Cornelia Street [C]again
I’d [G]never walk Cornelia Street [Am]again [F]

“I rent a [C]place on Cornelia Street”
