Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
G Em C D
We were in the backseat, drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
G Em C D
I rent a place on Cornelia Street, I say casually in the car
G Em C D
Windows flung right open, autumn air, jacket ’round my shoulders is yours
G Em C D
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street, memorize the creaks in the floor
Chorus
[G]Back when we were [Em]card sharks, playing [C]games, I thought you were [D]leading me on
[G]I packed my bags, left [Em]Cornelia Street, be[C]fore you even [D]knew I was gone
[G]But then you called, [Em]showed your hand, I [C]turned around be[D]fore I hit the tunnel
[G]Sat on the roof, you [Em]barely talked to me, [C]I knew that you were [D]saving all the best words
[/verse]
Verse 2
G Em C D
We were a fresh page on the desk, filling in the blanks as we go
G Em C D
As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead leading us home
G Em C
I get mystified by how this city screams your name
D
And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away
Chorus
[G]Back when we were [Em]card sharks, playing [C]games, I thought you were [D]leading me on
[G]I packed my bags, left [Em]Cornelia Street, be[C]fore you even [D]knew I was gone
[G]But then you called, [Em]showed your hand, I [C]turned around be[D]fore I hit the tunnel
[G]Sat on the roof, you [Em]barely talked to me, [C]I knew that you were [D]saving all the best words
[/verse]
Bridge
C Em Am D
I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
C Em Am
I’d never walk Cornelia Street again
D
Oh, never again
C Em Am D
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
C Em Am D
And baby, I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away
Chorus
[G]Back when we were [Em]card sharks, playing [C]games, I thought you were [D]leading me on
