[Intro] D A Bm A G [Verse 1] D Down the block there's an antique shop A And something in my head said stop, so I walked in Bm On the counter was a cardboard box G And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each D Black and white, saw a A thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house Bm The kinda love that you G can only find once in a lifetime

The kind you don't put down
A Bm
And that's when I called you
G D
and it's so hard to explain,
A Bm G
but in those photos I saw us instead
A Bm
And somehow I know that you
G D
and I would've found each other
A
In another life, you still
G
would've turned my head
A
Even if wе'd met
[Chorus] D On a crowded street in 1944 A And you werе headed off to fight in the war Bm A You still would've been mine G We would have been timeless D I would've read your love letter every single night A And prayed to God you'd be Bm coming home all right A And you would've been fine G We would have been timeless D A 'Cause I believe that we were G supposed to find this Bm So even in a different life, A you still would've been mine D A Bm A G We would've been timeless [Verse 2] D I had to smile when it caught my eye A There was one of a teenage couple on the driveway Bm Holding hands on the way to a G dance and the date on the back said 1958 D Which brought me back to the first time I saw you A Time stood still like something in this old shop Bm I thought about it as I started G looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot A Bm That's when I came upon G D a book covered in cobwebs A Bm G Story of a romance torn apart by fate A Bm Hundreds of years ago they G D fell in love like we did A G And I'd die for you in the same way A If I first saw your face

[Chorus] D In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land A And I was forced to marry another man Bm A You still would've been mine G We would have been timeless D I would have read your love letters every single night A And run away and left it all behind Bm A You still would've been mine G We would've been timeless D A 'Cause I believe that we G were supposed to find this Bm So even in a different life, A you still would've been mine D A Bm A G We would've been timeless [Bridge] A Bm G Time breaks down your mind and body A Bm G Don't you let it touch your soul A Bm It was like an age old classic G D The first time that you saw me A Bm The story started when G you said "hello" D In a crowded room a few short years ago A And sometimes there's no proof, you just know Bm You're always gonna be mine G We're gonna be D I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey A We'll have a cardboard box Bm of photos of the life we made A And you'll say, "Oh my, G we really were timeless" [Chrous] D We're gonna be timeless A Timeless Bm A You still would've been mine G We would've been D Even if we'd met on a crowded A street in 1944 Bm A You still would've been mine G We would've been [Outro] D Down the block there's an antique shop A And something in my head G said stop, so I walked in
