Capo 3 / C
[Intro]
C / / / | G/B / / / | Am / G / | F / / /
[Verse 1]
C Down the block, there's an antique shop and
G/BSomething in my head said, "Stop", so I walked in
AmOn the counter was a cardboard box
FAnd the sign said, "Photos twenty five cents each"
C Black and white, saw a thirties bride and
G/BSchool lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
Am FThe kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime, the kind that you don't put down
G Am F Am And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain,
G Am FBut in those photos I saw us instead
G Am F Am And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other
G Am FIn another life, you still would've turned my head
GEven if wе'd met
[Chorus]
COn a crowded street in 1944
G/B Am And you werе headed off to fight in the war; you still would've been mine
FWe would have been timeless
CI would've read your love letters every single night
G/B Am And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right and you would've been fine
FWe would have been timeless
C G/B F'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
C G/BSo even in a different life, you still would've still been mine
F / / / | G / / / | Am / G/B / | F / / /We would've been timeless
[Verse 2]
C I had to smile when it caught my eye
G/BThere was one of a teenage couple in the driveway
Am F Holding hands on the way to a dance and the date on the back said 1958
C Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
G/BTime stood still like something in this old shop
Am F I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot
G Am F Am That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
G Am FStory of a romance torn apart by fate
G Am F Am Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did
G Am F And I'd die for you in the same way
GIf I first saw your face
[Chorus]
CIn the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
G/B And I was forced to marry another man
Am You still would've been mine
FWe would have been timeless
CI would have read your love letters every single night
G/B And run away and left it all behind
Am You still would've been mine
FWe would've been timeless
C G/B F'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
C G/BSo even in a different life, you still would've still been mine
F / / / | G / / / | Am / G/B / | F / / /We would've been timeless
[Bridge]
C G/B Am FTime breaks down your mind and body
C G/B FDon't you let it touch your soul
C G/BIt was like an age old classic
Am FThe first time that you saw me
C G/B FThe story started when you said "hello"
CIn a crowded room a few short years ago
G/B And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
Am You're always gonna be mine
FWe're gonna be . . .
CI'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey
G/BWe'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made
Am F And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[Chrous]
CWe're gonna be timeless
G/BTimeless
Am You still would've been mine
FWe would've been. . .
G Am GEven if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
Am You still would've been mine
FWe would've been
[Outro]
C Down the block there's an antique shop
G/B FAnd something in my head said stop, so I walked in
