[Intro]
D A Bm A G
[Verse]
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                                          A 
 Black and white, saw a thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house 
Bm                                            G 
  The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime 
  
The kind you don't put down 
A                  Bm                  G            D          A               Bm        G 
 And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain, but in those photos I saw us instead 
A              Bm                G                     D 
 And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other 
A                                          G 
In another life, you still 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 letters every single night 
A                                           Bm 
 And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right 
                      A 
And you would've been fine 
                   G 
We would have been timeless 
       D              A                   G 
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this 
                       Bm                            A 
So even in a different life, you still would've been mine 
                 D        A Bm A G 
We would've been timeless
[Verse]
D 
 I had to smile when it caught my eye 
          A 
There was one of a teenage couple in the driveway 
Bm                                            G 
  Holding hands on the way to a 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                                                        G 
  I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot 
A              Bm          G               D 
 That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs 
A                  Bm            G 
Story of a romance torn apart by fate 
A            Bm             G                 D 
 Hundreds of years ago they 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                   G 
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this 
                       Bm                            A 
So even in a different life, you still would've been mine 
                 D        A Bm A G 
We would've been timeless
[Bridge]
A           Bm        G        D 
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                G 
The story started when you said "hello" 
     D 
In a crowded room a few short years ago 
A 
And sometimes there's no proof, you just know 
Bm                       A 
  You're always gonna be mine 
              G 
We're gonna be... 
          D 
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey 
             A                                      Bm 
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made 
                    A                  G 
And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[Chorus]
               D 
We're gonna be timeless 
A 
Timeless 
Bm                        A 
  You still would've been mine 
                G 
We would've been 
                      D                    A 
Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944 
Bm                        A 
  You still would've been mine 
                 G 
We would've been
