D
We were both young when i first saw you
G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm G
I’m standing there on a balcony and summer air
D
See the lights, See the party the ball gowns
G
I see you make your way through the crowd
Bm A
You say hello. Little did I know
G (1) A (1)
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Bm (1) D (1)
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet,”
G (1) A (1)
And I was crying on the staircase, Begging you please
Bm (1) G (½) A (½)
don't go, and I said
Chorus:
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 (1) A (1)
It’s a love story, baby just say yes
/ D - - - / - - - - /
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
G
We keep quite because we're dead if they knew
Bm A
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
G (1) A (1)
‘Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
Bm (1) D (1)
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet,”
G (1) A (1)
But you were everything to me and I was begging you please
Bm (1) G (½) A (½)
don't go, and I said
Chorus
Extended Chorus:
D
Romeo save me, don’t try to tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it’s real,
Bm
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
G (1) A (1)
It’s a love story, baby just say yes
Instrumental Chorus
Bm (1) G (1)
I got tired of waiting, wondering if
D (1) A (1)
you were ever coming around
Bm (1) G (1)
My faith in you was fading
D (1) A (1)
Then I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
D
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G (1) A (1)
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
E
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
B
I love you and that’s all I really know
C#m
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress,
A (1) B (1)
It’s a love story, baby just say yes

‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you
