UPDATE: If you are a beginner you
can play this in G on capo 5th by transposing -5.
That would give you:
[G] [D/F#] [Em7] [Cadd9]
for the whole song :)
NOTE: I figured out a nice way of playing this in
C without having to barre F - just use these chord shapes
and you'll barely need to move your fingers!
C - normal
[G] - 320013
[Am(7)] - x02010
[F] - x33011
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Verse 1
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse 2
[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
Pre-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[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
Bridge
[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
Chorus
[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] [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
[Post-Chorus]
[C] [G]
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
(I'd never walk Cornelia Street again)
[Am] [F]
I don't wanna lose you (Yeah)
Outro
[C]
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
[G] [Am] [F]
I said casually in the car
