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