|D      |D      |A     |A     |
|Bm     |Bm     |G     |G     |

|D                      |D                 |G                    |G               |
 We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flashback starts
            |Bm   |Bm               |G         |G   |
I'm standin' there,  on a balcony in summer air
|D                      |D                     |G                    |G                |
 See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns, see you make your way through the crowd
            |Bm   |Bm          |A     |A   |
And say, “Hello”,    little did I know

    |G                       |A                       |Bm                         |D      |
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles, and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
         |G                       |A                         |Bm   |G     A     |
And I was cryin' on the staircase, beggin’ you, "Please don't go”,    and I said

|D             |D                         |A               |A                            |
 Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone, I’ll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
|Bm                      |Bm                   |G                 |A                    |
 You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it’s a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

|D     |D     |

  |D                 |D                 |G                          |G                |
So I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
             |Bm   |Bm                      |A            |A    |
So close your eyes,   escape this town for a little while, oh oh

      |G                      |A                     |Bm                         |D      |
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
            |G                      |A                         |Bm   |G     A     |
But you were everything to me, I was beggin' you, "Please don't go”,    and I said

|D             |D                         |A               |A                            |
 Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone, I’ll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
|Bm                      |Bm                   |G                 |A                    |
 You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it’s a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
|D                      |D                        |A                       |A              |
 Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel,  this love is difficult,  but it's real
|Bm                    |Bm                       |G                 |A                    |
 Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess, it’s a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

|D     |D     |A     |A     |Bm     |Bm     |G     |A     |
            Oh-oh-oh

              |Bm     |G             |D                    |A    |
I got tired of waiting,  wonderin’ if you were ever comin' around
               |Bm   |G           |D                          |A               |
My faith in you was fading, when I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

|D              |D                          |A             |A                          |
 Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone, I keep waiting for you, but you never come
  |Bm                      |Bm                    |G                      |A                |
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think, he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
          |E                       |E                     |
And said, "Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
|B             |B                       |
 I love you and that's all I really know
 |C#m                   |C#m                   |A                   |B             |
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress,  it’s a love story, baby, just say

|E    |E   |B    |B   |C#m  |C#m    |A                      |A          |E   |
  “Yes”, oh-oh-oh,  oh-oh-oh, ’cause we were both young when I first saw you
