Taylor Swift - Timeless (Taylor’s Version)

Capo ♪ fret 3

Intro : C G Am G F

C
down the block, there’s an antique shop
G
and something in my head said stop,
so i walked in
Am
on the counter was a cardboard box
F (C)
and the sign said, “photos 25 cents each”

C
black and white, saw a thirties bride
G
and school lovers laughing on the porch
of their first house
Am G
the kinda love that you only find once
F
in a lifetime the kind you don’t put down..

G Am
and that’s when i called you
F C
and it’s so hard to explain but
G Am F
in those photos i saw us instead..

G Am F
and somehow i know that you and i
C
would’ve found each other..
G
in another life,
F
you still would’ve turned my head..
G
even if we’d met

Reff :
C
on a crowded street in 1944
G
and you were headed off
to fight in the war
Am G
you still would’ve been mine
F
we would have been timeless..

C
i would’ve read your love
letters every single night
G
and prayed to God
Am
you’d be coming home all right
G
and you would’ve been fine
F
we would have been timeless..

C G
cause i believe that we were supposed
F
to find this..
Am
so even in a different life
G
you still would’ve been mine
(C)
we would’ve been timeless..

Int. C G Am G F

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 ‘round
F
at these precious things that time forgot..

G Am
that’s when i came upon
F C
a book covered in cobwebs
G Am F
story of a romance torn apart by fate..

G Am
hundreds of years ago
F C
they fell in love like we did
G F
and i’d die for you in the same way
G
if i first saw your face

Reff :
C
in the fifteen hundreds off
in a foreign land
G
and i was forced to marry another man
Am G
you still would’ve been mine
F
we would have been timeless..

C
i would’ve read your love
letters every single night
G
and run away and left it all behind
Am G
you still would’ve been mine
F
we would’ve been timeless..

C G
cause i believe that we were supposed
F
to find this..
Am
so even in a different life
G
you still would’ve been mine
(C)
we would’ve been timeless..

Int. C G Am G F

G Am F C
time breaks down your mind and body
G Am F
don’t 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..

Reff :
C
in a crowded room a few short years ago
G
and sometimes there’s no proof
you just know
Am G
you’re always gonna be mine
F
we’re gonna be..

C
i’m gonna love you
when our hair is turning gray
G
we’ll have a cardboard box
Am
of photos of the life we’ve made
G
and you’ll say, “oh my,
F
we really were timeless”..

C G
we’re gonna be timeless.. timeless..
Am G
you still would’ve been mine
F
we would’ve been..

C
even if we’d met on a crowded street
G
in 1944..
Am G
you still would’ve been mine
F
we would’ve been..

C
down the block there’s an antique shop
G
and somethin’ in my head said stop,
F
so i walked in..
