Intro:C G Am G FC
Down the block thereʼs an antique shop
G
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
Am
On the counter was a cardboard box
F
And the sign said, «Photos twenty five cents each»
C
Black and white, saw a 30s bride
G
And school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
Am F
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
The kind you donʼt put down
Pre-Chorus:G Am F C
And thatʼs when I called you and itʼs so hard to explain
G Am F
But in those photos I saw us instead
G Am F C
And somehow I know that you and I wouldʼve found each other
G F
In another life, you still wouldʼve turned my head
G
Even if wеʼd met
Chorus: C
On a crowded street in 1944
G
And you werе headed off to fight in the war
Am G
You still wouldʼve been mine
F
We would have been timeless
C
I wouldʼve read your love letters every single night
G Am
And prayed to God youʼd be coming home all right
G
And you wouldʼve been fine
F
We would have been timeless
C G F
ʼCause I believe that we were supposed to find this
Am G
So even in a different life, you still wouldʼve been mine
C G Am G F
We wouldʼve been timeless
C
I had to smile when it caught my eye
G
There was one of a teenage couple in the driveway
Am
Holding hands on the way to a dance
F
And the 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 ʼround
F
At these precious things that time forgot
Pre-Chorus:G Am F C
Thatʼs when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
G Am F
Story of a romance torn apart by fate
G Am F C
Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did
G F
And Iʼd die for you in the same way
G
If I first saw your face
Chorus: C
In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
G
And I was forced to marry another man
Am G
You still wouldʼve been mine
F
We would have been timeless
C
I would have read your love letters every single night
G
And run away and left it all behind
Am G
You still wouldʼve been mine
F
We wouldʼve been timeless
C G F
ʼCause I believe that we were supposed to find this
Am G
So even in a different life, you still wouldʼve been mine
C G Am G F
We wouldʼve been timeless
Bridge:G Am F C
Time breaks down your mind and body
G Am F
Donʼt you let it touch your soul
G Am
It was like an age old classic
F C
The first time that you saw me
G Am F
The story started when you said «hello»
C
In a crowded room a few short years ago
G
And sometimes thereʼs no proof, you just know
Am G
Youʼre always gonna be mine
F
Weʼre gonna be...
C
Iʼm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey
G Am
Weʼll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made
G F
And youʼll say, «Oh my, we really were timeless»
Outro: C
Weʼre gonna be timeless
G
Timeless
Am G
You still wouldʼve been mine
F
We wouldʼve been
C G
Even if weʼd met on a crowded street in 1944
Am G
You still wouldʼve been mine
F
We wouldʼve been
C
Down the block thereʼs an antique shop
G F
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
