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