[D]We were both young when I first [A]saw you
I close my [Bm]eyes and the flashback [G]starts
I’m standing [D]there
On a balcony in [A]summer air
See the [Bm]lights, see the party, the [G]ballgowns
See you [D]make your way through the crowd
And [A]say, “Hello”
Little did I [Bm]know
[G]That you were [A]Romeo, you were throwing [Bm]pebbles
And my [G]daddy said, “Stay a-[A]way from Juliet”
And I was [Bm]crying on the staircase
[G]Begging you, “Please don’t [A]go,”
And I [D]said
[D]Romeo, take me somewhere we can be a[A]lone
I’ll be [Bm]waiting, all there’s left to do is [G]run
You’ll be the [D]prince and I’ll be the [A]princess
It’s a [Bm]love story, baby, just say “[G]Yes”
[D]So I sneak out to the garden to see [A]you
We keep [Bm]quiet, ’cause we’re dead if they [G]knew
So close your [D]eyes
Escape this [A]town for a little while
[G]Cause you were [A]Romeo, I was a scarlet [Bm]letter
And my [G]daddy said, “Stay a-[A]way from Juliet”
But you were [Bm]everything to me
I was [G]begging you, “Please don’t [A]go,”
And I [D]said
[D]Romeo, take me somewhere we can be a[A]lone
I’ll be [Bm]waiting, all there’s left to do is [G]run
You’ll be the [D]prince and I’ll be the [A]princess
It’s a [Bm]love story, baby, just say “[G]Yes”
[D]Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell me how to [A]feel
This love is [Bm]difficult, but it’s [G]real
Don’t be a[D]fraid, we’ll make it out of this [A]mess
It’s a [Bm]love story, baby, just say “[G]Yes”
[D]Oh, [A]oh
[Bm]I got tired of [G]waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming a[D]round
My faith in you was [A]fading
When I met you on the [Bm]outskirts of town
And I [G]said
[D]Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so a[A]lone
I keep [Bm]waiting for you, but you never [G]come
Is this in my [D]head? I don’t know what to [A]think
He knelt to the [Bm]ground and pulled out a ring and said
“[G]Marry me, [A]Juliet, you’ll never have to be a[Bm]lone
I love you, and that’s all I really [G]know
I talked to your [A]dad, go pick out a white dress
It’s a [Bm]love story, baby, just say “[G]Yes”
[D]Oh, [A]oh
[Bm]Oh, [G]oh
(Key Change to E Major)
[E]Romeo, take me somewhere we can be a[B]lone
I’ll be [C#m]waiting, all there’s left to do is [A]run
You’ll be the [E]prince and I’ll be the [B]princess
It’s a [C#m]love story, baby, just say “[A]Yes”
[E]Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell me how to [B]feel
This love is [C#m]difficult, but it’s [A]real
Don’t be a[E]fraid, we’ll make it out of this [B]mess
It’s a [C#m]love story, baby, just say “[A]Yes”
[E]Oh, [B]oh
[C#m]Oh, [A]oh
It’s a [E]love story, baby, just say “[B]Yes”
