[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
We were both young when I first saw you
F
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Am F
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
F
See you make your way through the crowd
Am
And say, "Hello"
G
Little did I know
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Am C
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
F
And I was crying on the staircase
G Am F G
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Am
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
F G C
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"
[Verse 2]
C
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
F
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
Am
So close your eyes
G
Escape this town for a little while
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Am C
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
F
But you were everything to me
G Am F G
I was begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Am
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
F G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
C
Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel
G
This love is difficult, but it's real
Am
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
F G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
[Solo]
| C | C | G | G |
Oh-ohh
| Am | Am | F | G
[Bridge]
Am F C G
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
Am F
My faith in you was fading
C G
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus]
C
Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone
G
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Am
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
F G
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
D
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
A
I love you, and that's all I really know
Bm
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
G A D
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
[Outro]
A Bm
Uh oh, uh oh
G D
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
