[D]　[Em7]　[Bm]　[G6]

 

[D]We were both young when I first saw you

I[G]close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing[Bm]there on a balcony in[G6]summer air

 

[D]See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

[G]See you make your way through the crowd

And say,[Bm7]"Hello,"

Little did[Asus4]I know...[A]

 

That[G]you were Romeo, you were[Asus4]throwing pebbles,

And my[Bm7]daddy said, "Stay away from[D]Juliet"

And I was[G]crying on the staircase

[Asus4]Begging you, "Please don't[Bm7]go"[G]

And[Asus4]I said...

 

[D]Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

[A]I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run

[Bm]You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

[G]It's a love story,[A]baby, just say,[D]"Yes"

 

[D]So I sneak out to the garden to see you

[G]We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your[Bm7]eyes... escape this town for a[A]little[Aadd9]while

[A]Oh, oh

 

'cause[G]you were Romeo - I was a[Asus4]scarlet letter,

And my[Bm7]daddy said, "Stay away from[D]Juliet"

But you were[G]everything to me,

I was[Asus4]begging you, "Please don't[Bm7]go"[G]

And[Asus4]I said...

 

[D]Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

[A]I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run

[Bm]You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

[G]It's a love story,[A]baby, just say, "Yes"

 

[D]Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

[A]This love is difficult but it's real

[Bm]Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

[G]It's a love story,[A]baby, just say, "Yes"[D]

 

Oh,[A]oh oh[Bm]　[G]　[A]

 

I got tired of[Bm7]waiting[G]

Wondering if[D]you were ever coming ar[A]ound

My faith in you[Bm7]was fa[G]ding

When I[D]met you on the outskirts of[A]town

[A]And I said...

 

[D]Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

[A]I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is[Bm7]this in my head? I don't know what to think

He[G]knelt to the ground and[Asus4]pulled out a ring and said...

 

[E]Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

[B]I love you, and that's all I really know

I[C#m]talked to your dad go pick out a white dress

[A]It's a love story,[B]baby, just say,[E]"Yes"

 

Oh,[B]oh, oh,[C#m]oh, oh

 

'cause[A]we were both young when I first saw[E]you
