Originally performed by Taylor Swift
Capo 4:
Strumming: DUDU DUDU DDU
We were in the [G]backseat
Drunk on something [D/F#]stronger than the drinks in the [Em7]bar [Cadd9]
"I rent a [G]place on Cornelia Street"
I [D/F#]say casually in the [Em7]car[Cadd9]
We were a [G]fresh page on the desk
[D/F#]Filling in the blanks as we [Em7]go[Cadd9]
As if the [G]street lights pointed in an [D/F#]arrow head
Leading us [Em7]home[Cadd9]
And I hope I never [G]lose you, hope it never [D/F#]ends
I'd never walk [Em7]Cornelia Street [Cadd9]again
That's the kinda [G]heartbreak time could never [D/F#]mend
I'd never walk [Em7]Cornelia Street [Cadd9]again
And baby, [G]I get mystified[D/F#] by how this [Em7]city screams your [Cadd9]name
And baby, [G]I'm so terrified[D/F#] of if you [Em7]ever walk away
[Cadd9]I'd never walk Cornelia Street [G]again
I'd [D/F#]never walk Cornelia Street [Em7]again[Cadd9]
Windows flung right [G]open, autumn air
[D/F#]Jacket 'round my shoulders is [Em7]yours[Cadd9]
We bless the [G]rains on Cornelia Street
[D/F#]Memorize the creaks in the [Em7]floor[Cadd9]
Back when we were [G]card sharks, playing games
[D/F#]I thought you were leading me [Em7]on[Cadd9]
I packed my [G]bags, left Cornelia Street
[D/F#]Before you even knew I was [Em7]gone[Cadd9]
But then you [Dsus4] called, showed your hand
I turned [Em7]around before I hit the tunnel
[Cadd9]Sat on the roof, you and I
I hope I never [G]lose you, hope it never [D/F#]ends
I'd never walk [Em7]Cornelia Street [Cadd9]again
That's the kinda [G]heartbreak time could never [D/F#]mend
I'd never walk [Em7]Cornelia Street [Cadd9]again
And baby, [G]I get mystified[D/F#] by how this [Em7]city screams your [Cadd9]name
And baby, [G]I'm so terrified[D/F#] of if you [Em7]ever walk away
[Cadd9]I'd never walk Cornelia Street [G]again
I'd [D/F#]never walk Cornelia Street [Em7]again[Cadd9]
You hold my [Dsus4] hand on the street
Walk me [Em7]back to that apartment
Years [Cadd9]ago, we were just inside
Barefoot in the [Dsus4] kitchen
Sacred new [Em7]beginnings
That became my [Cadd9]religion, listen
I hope I never [G]lose you[D/F#]
I'd never walk [Em7]Cornelia Street again[Cadd9]
[G]Oh[D/F#], never [Em7]again[Cadd9]
And baby, [G]I get [D/F#]mystified by how this [Em7]city screams your [Cadd9]name
And baby, [G]I'm so terrified[D/F#] of if you [Em7]ever walk [Cadd9]away
I'd [Cadd9]never walk Cornelia Street [G]again
I'd [D/F#]never walk Cornelia Street [Em7]again[Cadd9]
I don't wanna [G]lose you (Hope it never [D/F#]ends)
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don't wanna [Em7]lose you [Cadd9](Yeah)
"I rent a [G]place on Cornelia Street"
I [D/F#]say casually in the [Em7]car[Cadd9]
