[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   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
