UPDATE: If you are a beginner you
can play this in G on capo 5th by transposing -5.
That would give you: 
GfoD/F#r the Em7whoCadd9le song :)
NOTE: I figured out a nice way of playing this in 
C without having to barre F - just use these chord shapes
and you'll barely need to move your fingers!

[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse 1]

We were in the backseat

G Am F

Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar

"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

G Am F

I say casually in the car

We were a fresh page on the desk

G Am F

Filling in the blanks as we go

C G

As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head

Am F

Leading us home

[Chorus]

C G

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

C G

That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

C G Am F

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

C G Am

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

F C

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

G Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

[Verse 2]

Windows swung right open, autumn air

G Am F

Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours

We bless the rains on Cornelia Street

G Am F

Memorize the creaks in the floor

Back when we were card sharks, playing games

G Am F

I thought you were leading me on

I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street

G Am F

Before you even knew I was gone

[Pre-Chorus]

But then you called, showed your hand

I turned around before I hit the tunnel

Sat on the roof, you and I

[Chorus]

C G

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

C G

That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

C G Am F

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

C G Am

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

F C

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

G Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

[Bridge]

You hold my hand on the street

Walk me back to that apartment

Years ago, we were just inside

Barefoot in the kitchen

Sacred new beginnings

That became my religion, listen

[Chorus]

C G

I hope I never lose you

Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

C G Am F

Oh-oh, never again

C G Am F

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

C G Am

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

F C

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

G Am F

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

[Post-Chorus]

C G

I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends

(I'd never walk Cornelia Street again)

Am F

I don't wanna lose you (Yeah)

[Outro]

"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

G Am F
