Capo ♪ fret 3
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [G] [F]
[C] down the block, there’s an antique shop
and [G]something in my head said stop,
so i walked in
[Am] on the counter was a cardboard box
and the [F]sign said, “photos 25 cents([C]) each”
[C] black and white, saw a thirties bride
and [G]school lovers laughing on the porch
of their first house
[Am] the kinda love that you o[G]nly find once
in a [F]lifetime the kind you don’t put down..
[G] and that’s when i [Am]called you
and it’s [F]so hard to ex[C]plain but
[G]in those photos [Am]i saw us [F]instead..
[G] and somehow i [Am]know that you and [F]i
would’ve found each [C]other..
[G]in another life,
you still would’ve turned [F]my head..
even [G]if we’d met
Chorus
on a [C]crowded street in 1944
[G] and you were headed off
to fight in the war
[Am] you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would have been [F]timeless..
i would’ve [C]read your love
letters every single night
[G] and prayed to God
you’d be coming home all [Am]right
and you would’ve been [G]fine
we would have been [F]timeless..
cause [C]i believe that [G]we were supposed
to [F]find this..
so even in a different [Am]life
you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would’ve been([C]) timeless..
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [G] [F]
[C] i had to smile when it caught my eye
there was [G]one of a teenage couple
in the driveway
[Am] holding hands on the way to a dance
and the [F]date on the back said 1958..
[C] which brought me back
to the first time i saw you
[G]time stood still like
something in this old shop
[Am] i thought about it
as i started looking ‘round
at these [F]precious things that time forgot..
[G] that’s when i [Am]came upon
a [F]book covered in [C]cobwebs
[G]story of a romance [Am]torn apart by [F]fate..
[G] hundreds of [Am]years ago
they [F]fell in love like [C]we did
[G] and i’d die for you in the same [F]way
if i first [G]saw your face
Chorus
in the [C]fifteen hundreds off
in a foreign land
[G] and i was forced to marry another man
[Am] you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would have been [F]timeless..
i would’ve [C]read your love
letters every single night
[G] and run away and left it all behind
[Am] you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would’ve been [F]timeless..
cause [C]i believe that [G]we were supposed
to [F]find this..
so even in a different [Am]life
you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would’ve been([C]) timeless..
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [G] [F]
[G]time breaks [Am]down your [F]mind and [C]body
[G]don’t you [Am]let it touch your [F]soul..
it was like an [G]age old [Am]classic
the [F]first time that you [C]saw me..
the [G]story started [Am]when you said hel[F]lo..
Chorus
in a [C]crowded room a few short years ago
[G] and sometimes there’s no proof
you just know
[Am] you’re always gonna be [G]mine
we’re gonna be[F]..
i’m gonna [C]love you
when our hair is turning gray
we’ll have a [G]cardboard box
of photos of the life we’ve [Am]made
and you’ll say, “oh [G]my,
we really were [F]timeless”..
we’re gonna be [C]timeless.. [G]timeless..
[Am] you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would’ve been[F]..
even if we’d met on a [C]crowded street
in 194[G]4..
[Am] you still would’ve been [G]mine
we would’ve [F]been..
[C] down the block there’s an antique shop
and [G]somethin’ in my head said stop,
so i walked [F]in..
