We were both young when I first saw you.
Db D D D D Db D E D
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
D Db D D D D Db D E
I’m standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
D Db D B- D D D Db Db A- A- A- B-
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
Db D D D D Db D D E D
See you make your way through the crowd
Db D D D D D Db D E
And say, “Hello.”
D Db D B-
Little did I know…
D Db A- A- B-
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
D Db D D D D D D Db D E D
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet.”
D D Db D D D D D D A G F#
And I was crying on the staircase
E F# E F# E F# F# F# D
Begging you, “Please don’t go.”
E E E E D F# G F#
And I said…
F# F# D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
D D G F# D D E E D F# D E
I’ll be waiting; all that’s left to do is run.
D E F# E D E E D F# D E
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess,
D E D F# E D E D F# E
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”.
D D E F# E F# F# E F# F# D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
D Db D D D D Db D D E D
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
Db D D D D Db Db Db D E
So close your eyes,
D Db D B-
Escape this town for a little while.
D D D D Db Db A- A- A- B-
Oh, oh.
Db F# F# E
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
D Db D D D D D D D Db D E D
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet.”
D D Db D D D D D D A-A G-G F#-F#
But you were everything to me,
E F# F# F# F# F# F# F# E E D
I was begging you, “Please don’t go.”
E E E E D F# G F#
And I said…
F# F# E
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
D D G F# D D E E D F# D E
I’ll be waiting; all that’s left to do is run.
D E F# E D E E D F# D E
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess.
D E D F# E D E D F# E
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”.
D D F# E F# F# F# E F# F# E D
Romeo, save me. They’re trying to tell me how to feel.
D D G F# D D D E E D F# D E
This love is difficult but it’s real.
E E E F# D DbE E E D A E D
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess.
D E D F# E D E E D F# E
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”.
D D E F# E F# F# E F# F# E D
Oh, oh, oh.
F# E F#
I got tired of waiting
F# E D Db Db D
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
Db D D D E F# F# F# F# G F# E
My faith in you was fading
E F# D D Db BEG BDF#
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
D D F# F# F# F# A E E E
And I said…
E E D
Romeo, save me. I’ve been feeling so alone.
D D G F# D D E E D F# D E
I keep waiting for you, but you never come.
D E F# E D E E D F# D E
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think.
E D E D F# E D D E D F#
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said…
E D E D F# E D E D F# F# E
Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone.
E E A Ab F# F# E E F# F# E Ab E F#
I love you, and that’s all I really know.
E F# Ab F# B Ab F# F# E E
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress
E E F# E Ab F# E F# E Ab F#
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
