Capo : No Capo
Intro G D Em D C
G
down the block, there's an antique shop
D
and something in my head said stop,
so i walked in
Em
on the counter was a cardboard box
C G
and the sign said, "photos 25 cents each"
G
black and white, saw a thirties bride
D
and school lovers laughing on the porch
of their first house
Em D
the kinda love that you only find once
C
in a lifetime the kind you don't put down..
D Em
and that's when i called you
C G
and it's so hard to explain but
D Em C
in those photos i saw us instead..
D Em C
and somehow i know that you and i
G
would've found each other..
D
in another life,
C
you still would've turned my head..
D
even if we'd met
Chorus
G
on a crowded street in 1944
D
and you were headed off
to fight in the war
Em D
you still would've been mine
C
we would have been timeless..
G
i would've read your love
letters every single night
D
and prayed to God
Em
you'd be coming home all right
D
and you would've been fine
C
we would have been timeless..
G D
cause i believe that we were supposed
C
to find this..
Em
so even in a different life
D
you still would've been mine
G
we would've been timeless..
Int. G D Em D C
G
i had to smile when it caught my eye
D
there was one of a teenage couple
in the driveway
Em
holding hands on the way to a dance
C
and the date on the back said 1958..
G
which brought me back
to the first time i saw you
D
time stood still like
something in this old shop
Em
i thought about it
as i started looking 'round
C
at these precious things that time forgot..
D Em
that's when i came upon
C G
a book covered in cobwebs
D Em C
story of a romance torn apart by fate..
D Em
hundreds of years ago
C G
they fell in love like we did
D C
and i'd die for you in the same way
D
if i first saw your face
Chorus
G
in the fifteen hundreds off
in a foreign land
D
and i was forced to marry another man
Em D
you still would've been mine
C
we would have been timeless..
G
i would've read your love
letters every single night
D
and run away and left it all behind
Em D
you still would've been mine
C
we would've been timeless..
G D
cause i believe that we were supposed
C
to find this..
Em
so even in a different life
D
you still would've been mine
G
we would've been timeless..
Int. G D Em D C
D Em C G
time breaks down your mind and body
D Em C
don't you let it touch your soul..
D Em
it was like an age old classic
C G
the first time that you saw me..
D Em C
the story started when you said hello..
Chorus
G
in a crowded room a few short years ago
D
and sometimes there's no proof
you just know
Em D
you're always gonna be mine
C
we're gonna be..
G
i'm gonna love you
when our hair is turning gray
D
we'll have a cardboard box
Em
of photos of the life we've made
D
and you'll say, "oh my,
C
we really were timeless"..
G D
we're gonna be timeless.. timeless..
Em D
you still would've been mine
C
we would've been..
G
even if we'd met on a crowded street
D
in 1944..
Em D
you still would've been mine
C
we would've been..
G
down the block there's an antique shop
D
and somethin' in my head said stop,
C
so i walked in..
