Intro: [D][A][Bm][G]
1. [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 [G] balcony in summer air
[D] See the lights see the party the ball gowns
I [G] see you make your way through the crowd
You say hel-[Bm] lo little did I [A] know
Chorus:That you [G] were Romeo, you were throwing [A] pebbles
And my [Bm] daddy said stay away from Ju-[D] liet
And I was [G] crying on the staircase
[A] Begging you please don't [Bm] go, [G] and I [A] said
[D] Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
[A] I'll be waiting all there'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
2. [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 [Bm] eyes escape this [A] town for a little while
Cause you [G] were Romeo I was a scarlet [A] letter
And my [Bm] daddy said stay away from Ju-[D] liet
But you were [G] everything to me
I was [A] begging you please don't [Bm] go [G] and I [A] said
[D] Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
[A] I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
[Bm] You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
[G] It's a love story [A] baby just say [D] yes
[D] Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This [A] 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 [D] yes
Solo: [D][A][Bm][G][A]
Bridge: I got tired of [Bm] waiting
[G] Wondering if [D] you were ever [A] coming around
My faith in [Bm] you was [G] fading
When I met you on the out-[D] skirts of [A] town and I said
[D] Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I [A] keep waiting for you but you never come
Is [Bm] this in my head, I don't know what to think
He [G] kneels to the ground and [A] pulled out a ring and said
Change key up 1 tone to [E] ------
[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
[E] Oh [B] oh [C#m] oh X 2
Cause we [A] were both young when I first saw [E] you.
