[Intro]
[C][V[G]er[Am]se1[F]]
[C]We were both young when I first saw you
I[F]I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I[Am]I'm [F]standing there on a balcony in summer air
[C]See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
[F]See you make your way through the crowd
A[Am]And say, "Hello"
L[G]Little did I know
[Pre-chorus]
T[F]Tha[G]hat you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
A[Am]And [C]my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
A[F]And I was crying on the staircase
[G]Be[Am]ggi[F]ng[G] you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
[C]Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
[G]I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
Y[Am]You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
[F]It[G]It's[C]'s a love story baby just say "yes"
[Verse2]
S[C]So I sneak out to the garden to see you
[F]We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
S[Am]So close your eyes
E[G]Escape this town for a little while
[Pre-chorus]
'[F]'Ca[G]Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
A[Am]And [C]my daddy said stay away from Juliet
B[F]But you were everything to me I was
[G]Be[Am]ggi[F]ng[G] you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
[C]Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
[G]I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
[Am]You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
[F]It[G]It's a love story baby just say yes
[C]Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel
[G]This love is difficult, but it's real,
[Am]Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
[F]It[G]It's a love story baby just say yes, oh
[Solo]
[C][B[G]ri[Am]dge[F]] [G]
I[Am]I go[F]got [C]ti[G]red of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
M[Am]My f[F]faith in you was fading
W[C]Whe[G]hen I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus]
[C]Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
[G]I keep waiting for you but you never come
I[Am]Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
H[F]He [G]knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
[D]Marry me, Juliet you'll never have to be alone
[A]I love you, and that's all I really know
I[Bm]I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
[G]It[A]It's[D]'s a love story baby just say yes
[Outro]
[D]Uh[A]Uh o[Bm]oh, uh oh
[G]We[A]We w[D]were both young when I first saw you
