|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
