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
