D
We were both young when I first saw you
  G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
             Bm                    G
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
G
See you make your way through the crowd
            Bm
And say, "Hello"
           A
Little did I know


     G                        A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
       Bm                          D
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
          G
And I was crying on the staircase
A                        Bm  G   A
Begging you please don't go, and I said


D
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G                 A                   D
It's a love story baby just say "yes"


   D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
G
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
              Bm
So close your eyes
                       A
Escape this town for a little while


       G                       A
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
       Bm                        D
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
             G
But you were everything to me I was
A                        Bm  G   A
Begging you please don't go, and I said


D
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G                 A
It's a love story baby just say yes
D
Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Bm
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
G                 A
It's a love story baby just say yes, oh

               Bm
I got tired of waiting,
G              D                          A
  wondering if you were ever coming around
                   Bm     G
My faith in you was fading
       D                           A
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said


D
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
   Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
   G                       A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
E
Marry me, Juliet you'll never have to be alone
B
I love you, and that's all I really know
  C#m
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
A                 B            E
It's a love story baby just say yes


   B      C#m
Uh oh, uh oh 
      A                                    E
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
