D
We were both young when I first saw you
G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
BmG
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
G
See you make your way through the crowd
Bm
And say, "Hello"
A
Little did I know
ย
GA
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
BmD
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
G
And I was crying on the staircase
ABmGA
Begging you please don't go, and I said
ย
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
GAD
It's a love story baby just say "yes"
ย
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
G
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
Bm
So close your eyes
A
Escape this town for a little while
ย
GA
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
BmD
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
G
But you were everything to me I was
ABmGA
Begging you please don't go, and I said
ย
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
GA
It's a love story baby just say yes
D
Romeo, save me, they 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
GA
It's a love story baby just say yes

BmGDA
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
BmG
My faith in you was fading
DA
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
ย
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
GA
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
ABE
It's a love story baby just say yes
ย
BC#m
Oh oh, oh oh
AE
We were both young when I first saw you
