[Am]I'm standin' there
On a balc[F]balcony in summer air
[C]See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See[F]See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello" [Am]
Little did I know [G]
That you were Rom[F]Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles [G]
And my daddy sai[Am]said, "Stay away from Juliet" [C]
And I was cryin' o[F]on the staircase
Beggin'[G]Beggin' you, "Please don't go[.]go, " [.]an[Am]d I said [G]

Escape this town for a little while, oh oh[G]oh

And said, "Marry m[D]me, Juliet
