(C) We were both young when I first saw you
I (F) close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing (Am) there on a balcony in (F) summer air
(C) See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
(F) See you make your way through the crowd
And say (Am) hello
Little did (G) I know
That (F) you were Romeo, you were (G) throwing pebbles
And my (Am) daddy said, stay away from (C) Juliet
And I was (F) crying on the staircase
(G) Begging you, please, don't (Am) go (F)
And (G) I said,
(C) Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
(G) I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
(Am) You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
(F) It's a love story, (G) baby just say yes (C)
So (C) I sneak out to the garden to see you
(F) We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your (Am) eyes,
Escape this town for a (G) little while
'Cause (F) you were Romeo, I was a (G) scarlet letter
And my (Am) daddy said stay away from (C) Juliet
But you were (F) everything to me,
I was (G) begging you, please, don't (Am) go (F)
And (G) I said
(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's a love story (G) baby just say yes
(C) Romeo save me, they're trying 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's a love story, (G) baby just say yes
Oh, oh
(C) (G) (Am) (F) (G)
I got tired of (Am) waiting
(F) Wondering if (C) you were ever coming around (G)
My faith in you was (Am) fading (F)
When I (C) met you on the outskirts of (G) town
And I said
(C) Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
(G)I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is (Am) this in my head? I don't know what to think
He (F) knelt to the ground and (G) 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) talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
(G) It's a love story, (A) baby just say (D) yes
(D) Oh, (A) oh, oh, (Bm) oh
(G) 'Cause we were both young when (D) I first saw you.
