Verse 1
[D]
Down the block there's an antique shop
[A]
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
[Bm]
On the counter was a cardboard box
[G]
And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each'
[D] [A]
Black and white, saw a thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
[Bm] [G]
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
The kind you don't put down
[A] [Bm] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G]
And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain, but in those photos I saw us instead
[A] [Bm] [G] [D]
And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other
[A] [G]
In another life, you still would've turned my head
[A]
Even if wе'd met
Chorus
[D]
On a crowded street in 1944
[A]
And you werе headed off to fight in the war
[Bm] [A]
You still would've been mine
[G]
We would have been timeless
[D]
I would've read your love letters every single night
[A] [Bm]
And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right
[A]
And you would've been fine
[G]
We would have been timeless
[D] [A] [G]
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
[Bm] [A]
So even in a different life, you still would've been mine
[D] [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
We would've been timeless
Verse 2
[D]
I had to smile when it caught my eye
[A]
There was one of a teenage couple in the driveway
[Bm] [G]
Holding hands on the way to a dance and the date on the back said 1958
[D]
Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
[A]
Time stood still like something in this old shop
[Bm] [G]
I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot
[A] [Bm] [G] [D]
That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
[A] [Bm] [G]
Story of a romance torn apart by fate
[A] [Bm] [G] [D]
Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did
[A] [G]
And I'd die for you in the same way
[A]
If I first saw your face
Chorus
[D]
In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
[A]
And I was forced to marry another man
[Bm] [A]
You still would've been mine
[G]
We would have been timeless
[D]
I would have read your love letters every single night
[A]
And run away and left it all behind
[Bm] [A]
You still would've been mine
[G]
We would've been timeless
[D] [A] [G]
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
[Bm] [A]
So even in a different life, you still would've been mine
[D] [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
We would've been timeless
Bridge
[A] [Bm] [G] [D]
Time breaks down your mind and body
[A] [Bm] [G]
Don't you let it touch your soul
[A] [Bm]
It was like an age old classic
[G] [D]
The first time that you saw me
[A] [Bm] [G]
The story started when you said "hello"
[D]
In a crowded room a few short years ago
[A]
And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
[Bm] [A]
You're always gonna be mine
[G]
We're gonna be...
[D]
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey
[A] [Bm]
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made
[A] [G]
And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[Chrous]
[D]
We're gonna be timeless
[A]
Timeless
[Bm] [A]
You still would've been mine
[G]
We would've been
[D] [A]
Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
[Bm] [A]
You still would've been mine
[G]
We would've been
