Tông gốc Eb, Capo 1
(Intro)
[D] [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Verse 1)
[D] Down the block there's an antique shop
And [A]something in my head said stop, so I walked in
[Bm]On the counter was a cardboard box
And the [G]sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each'
[D] Black and white, saw a thirties bride and [A]
school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
[Bm] The kinda love that you only find once in a [G]lifetime
The kind you don't put down
[A] And that's when I [Bm]called you and it's [G]so hard
to ex[D]explain, but [A]in those photos [Bm]I saw us i[G]instead
[A] And somehow I [Bm]know that you and [G]I would've found each [D]other
[A]In another life, you still would've turned [G]my head
Even [A]if wе'd met
(Chorus)
On a [D]crowded street in 1944
[A] And you werе headed off to fight in the war
[Bm] You still would've been [A]mine
We would have been [G]timeless
I would've [D]read your love letters every single night
[A] And prayed to God you'd be coming home all [Bm]right
And you would've been [A]fine
We would have been [G]timeless
'Cause [D]I believe that [A]we were supposed to [G]find this
So even in a different [Bm]life, you still would've been [A]mine
We would've been [D]timeless [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Verse 2)
[D] I had to smile when it caught my eye
There was [A]one of a teenage couple in the driveway
[Bm] Holding hands on the way to a
dance and the [G]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] I thought about it as I started looking
'round at these [G]precious things that time forgot
[A] That's when I [Bm]came upon a [G]book covered in [D]cobwebs
[A]Story of a romance [Bm]torn apart by [G]fate
[A] Hundreds of [Bm]years ago they [G]fell in love like [D]we did
[A] And I'd die for you in the [G]same way
If I first [A]saw your face
(Chorus)
In the [D]fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
[A] And I was forced to marry another man
[Bm] You still would've been [A]mine
We would have been [G]timeless
I would have [D]read your love letters every single night
[A] And run away and left it all behind
[Bm] You still would've been [A]mine
We would've been [G]timeless
'Cause [D]I believe that [A]we were supposed to [G]find this
So even in a different [Bm]life, you still would've been [A]mine
We would've been [D]timeless [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Bridge)
[A]Time breaks [Bm]down your [G]mind and [D]body
[A]Don't you [Bm]let it touch your [G]soul
It was like an [A]age old [Bm]classic
The [G]first time that you [D]saw me
The [A]story started [Bm]when you said "hel[G]"hello"
In a [D]crowded room a few short years ago
[A]And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
[Bm] You're always gonna be [A]mine
We're gonna be[G]be...
I'm gonna [D]love you when our hair is turning grey
We'll have a [A]cardboard box of photos of the life we [Bm]made
And you'll say, "Oh [A]my, we really were [G]timeless"
(Chrous)
We're gonna be [D]timeless
[A]Timeless
[Bm] You still would've been [A]mine
We would've been[G]been
Even if we'd met on a [D]crowded street in 194[A]1944
[Bm] You still would've been [A]mine
We would've been [G]
(Outro)
[D] Down the block there's an antique shop
And [A]something in my head said stop, so I [G]walked in
