Taylor Swift – Timeless
Key: Eb Major BPM: ♩ = 72 Time: 4/4
|Eb    |Bb    |Cm    Cm/Bb    |Ab    |

|Eb                                           |Bb                                              |
   Down the block there's an antique shop, and something in my head said "stop", so I walked in
|Cm                                           |Ab                            |
   On the counter was a cardboard box, and the sign said photos 25 cents each
|Eb                                    |Bb                                                   |
   Black and white saw a 30s bride and, two lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
|Cm                                             |Ab                                   |
   The kind of love that you only find once in a lifetime, the kind you don't put down

|Bb                  Cm                  |Ab           Eb   |
   And that's when I called you, and it's so hard to explain
   |Bb               Cm      |Ab     |
But in those photos, I saw us instead
|Bb              Cm               |Ab                    Eb   |
   And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other
|Bb                                       |Ab            Bb              |
 In another life you still would've turned my head, even if we'd met on a

|Eb                    |Bb                                           |
 crowded street in 1944,  and you were headed off to fight in the war
|Cm                        Cm/Bb                 |Ab      |
   You still would've been mine, we would've been timeless
          |Eb                                       |Bb                                      |
I would've read your love letters every single night,  and prayed to God you'd be coming home
   |Cm                           Cm/Bb                 |Ab      |
all right, and you would've been fine, we would've been timeless

      |Eb             Bb                 |Ab                               |
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this, so even in a different
|Cm                            Cm/Bb                 |
 life, you still would've been mine, we would've been

|Eb      |Bb    |Cm   Cm/Bb   4nAb|%    |
 timeless

|Eb                                               |Bb                                   |
   I had to smile when it caught my eye, there was one of a teenage couple in a driveway
|Cm                                            |Ab                        |
   Holding hands on the way to a dance, and the date on the back said 1958
|Eb                                                 |
   Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
|Bb                                              |
 Time stood still like something in this old shop
|Cm                                                        |Ab                              |
   I thought about it as I started looking ‘round, at these precious things that time forgot

|Bb              Cm         |Ab              Eb      |Bb                 Cm           |Ab  |
   That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs, story of a romance torn apart by fate
|Bb            Cm             |Ab                Eb    |
   Hundreds of years ago, they fell in love like we did
|Bb                               |Ab              Bb           |
   And I'd die for you in the same way, if I first saw your face

      |Eb                        |Bb                                     |
In the 1500s up in a foreign land,  and I was forced to marry another man
|Cm                        Cm/Bb                 |Ab      |
   You still would've been mine, we would've been timeless
          |Eb                                       |Bb                                   |
I would've read your love letters every single night,  and run away and left it all behind
|Cm                        Cm/Bb                 |Ab      |
   You still would've been mine, we would've been timeless

      |Eb             Bb                 |Ab                               |
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this, so even in a different
|Cm                            Cm/Bb                 |
 life, you still would've been mine, we would've been

|Eb      |Bb    |Cm    Cm/Bb    |Ab    |
 timeless

|Bb          Cm       |Ab            |Bb        Cm               |Ab  |
 Time breaks down your mind and body, don’t you let it touch your soul
              |Bb      Cm          |Ab                        |
It was like an age old classic, the first time that you saw me
   |Bb            Cm              |Ab  |
The story started when you said hello

    |Eb                                |Bb                                             |
In a crowded room a few short years ago,  and sometimes there's no proof, you just know
|Cm                       Cm/Bb            |Ab  |
   You're always gonna be mine, we’re gonna be
         |Eb                                    |
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning gray
            |Bb                                    |
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we
|Cm                       Cm/Bb              |Ab      |
 made, and you'll say "Oh my”, we really were timeless

              |Eb       |Bb      |
We're gonna be timeless, timeless
|Cm                        Cm/Bb            |Ab                  |
   You still would've been mine, we would’ve been, even if we met
    |Eb                  |Bb  |Cm                    Cm/Bb             |Ab  |
On a crowded street in 1944,     still would've been mine, you would've been

|Eb                                           |Bb                                           |
   Down the block there's an antique shop, and something in my head said "stop", so I walked
