INTRO: [C] [G] [Am] [F]

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
[C] 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 1:
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 1:
[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]

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 2:
'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 I [G] said

CHORUS 2:
[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

CHORUS 3:
[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

BREAK: [C] [G] [Am] [F] [G]

BRIDGE:
I got tired of [Am] waiting
[F] Wondering if [C] you were ever coming a-[G]-round
My faith in you was [Am] fading
[F] When I [C] met you on the outskirts of [G] town, and I said

CHORUS 4:
[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

CHORUS 5:
[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:
Uh [A] oh, uh [Bm] oh
Cause [G] we were both young when I first saw [D] you
