[INTRO] : C F Am F
[VERSE]
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
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 that'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".
[INSTRUMENTAL] : C
[VERSE]
C
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
F
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
Am G
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
G
Oh, oh.
[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
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
F G
And I said...
[CHORUS]
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
G
I'll be waiting; all that'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're trying 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 C
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
[INSTRUMENTAL] : C G Am F G
[BRIDGE]
Am F
I got tired of waiting
C G
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.
G
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...
[CHORUS]
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".
