Verse 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 balcony in [F] summer air
[F] See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
[F] See you make your way through the crowd
And say, [Am] "Hello"
Little did [G] I know
Pre-Chorus
That [F] you were Romeo, you were [G] throwing pebbles
And my [Am] daddy said, "Stay away from [C] Juliet"
And I was [F] crying on the staircase
[G] Begging you please don't [Am] go, [F] and I [G] 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] It's a love story [G] baby just say [C] "yes"
Verse 2
So [C] 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 town for a [G] little while
Pre-Chorus
'Cause [F] you were Romeo, I was a [G] scarlet letter
And my [Am] daddy said stay away from [C] Juliet
But you were [F] everything to me I was
[G] Begging you please don't [Am] go, [F] and [G] 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] It's a love story [G] 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] It's a love story [G] baby just say yes, oh
Solo

Bridge
I got tired of [Am] waiting, [F] wondering if [C] you were ever coming [G] around
My faith in you was [Am] [F] fading
When I [C] met you on the outskirts of [G] 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
Is [Am] this in my head, I don't know what to think
He [F] knelt to the ground and [G] 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
I [Bm] talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
[G] It's a love story [A] baby just say [D] yes
Outro
[D] Uh [A] oh, uh [Bm] oh
[G] We were both young when [A] I first saw [D] you
