Verse 1DDown the block, there's an antique shop
And soAmething in my head said, "Stop," so I walked in
BmOn the counter was a cardboard box
And the sGign said, "Photos: twenty-five cents each"
DBlack and white, saw a 30s bride
And schAool lovers laughin' on the porch of their first hBmouse
The kinda love that you only find once in a lGifetime
The kind you don't put downPre-ChorusAAnd that's when I cBmalled you and it's so hGard to explAain
ABut in those photos, BmI saw us insteGad
AAnd, somehow, I kBmnow that you and GI would've found each oDther
AIn another life, you still would've turned my heGad even iAf w?'d metChorusOn a crDowded street in 1944
AAnd you were headed off to fight in the Bmwar
You still would've been mAine
We would have been tGimeless
I would've reDad your love letters every single night
AAnd prayed to God you'd be comin' home all rBmight
And you would've been fAine
We would have been tGimeless
'Cause DI believe that Awe were supposed to fGind this
So, even in a different lBmife, you still would've been miAne
We would've been tDimelessInterludeDABmAG.
Verse 2DI had to smile when it caught my eye
There was oAne of a teenage couple in the driveway
BmHoldin' hands on the way to a dance
And the daGte on the back said 1958
DWhich brought me back to the first time I saw you
TiAme stood still like somethin' in this old shop
BmI thought about it as I started lookin' 'round
At these preGcious things that time forgotPre-ChorusAThat's when I cBmame upon a bGook covered in cDobwebs
StAory of a romance tBmorn apart by faGte
AHundreds of yBmears ago, they fGell in love, like Dwe did
AAnd I'd die for you in the same wGay if I first sAaw your face
ChorusIn the fiDfteen hundreds off in a foreign land
AAnd I was forced to marry another man
BmYou still would've been mAine
We would have been tGimeless
I would've rDead your love letters every single night
AAnd run away and left it all behBmind
You still would've been mAine
We would've been tGimeless
'Cause DI believe that Awe were supposed to fGind this
So, even in a different lBmife, you still would've been mAine
We would've been tiDmelessInstrumentalDABmAG.
BridgeTAime breaks dBmown your miGnd and bDody
DAon't you Bmlet it touch your sGoul
It was like an Aage-old cBmlassic
The fiGrst time that you sDaw me
The stAory started wBmhen you said, "HelGlo"ChorusIn a crDowded room a few short years ago
AAnd sometimes there's no proof, you just know
BmYou're always gonna be mine
We're gonna Gbe
I'm gonna lDove you when our hair is turnin' gray
We'll have a caArdboard box of photos of the life we've mBmade
And you'll say, "Oh Amy, we really were tGimeless"Post-ChorusWe're gonna be tDimeless, tAimeless
