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


[Pre-Chorus 1]
   Gm                            A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
         Bb                          Dm
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
             Gm
And I was crying on the staircase
  A                        Bb   Dm  A
Begging you, "Please don't go-o-o", and I said


[Chorus 1]
 Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
 A
I'll be waiting, all therе's left to do is run
 Bb
You'll be the princе and I'll be the princess
  Gm                 A
It's a love story, baby, just say..


[Verse 2]
   Dm
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
 Gm
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
               Bb
So close your eyes
                          A
Escape this town for a little while


[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Gm                         A
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
          Bb                          Dm
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
                   Gm
But you were everything to me
          A                    Bbmaj7 Dm  A
I was begging you, "Please don't go-o-o", and I said


[Chorus 2]
 Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
  A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
 Bbmaj7                   Bb
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
  Gm                A
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"
  Dm
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
  A
This love is difficult, but it's real
    Bb
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
   Gm                A              Dm
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"


[Bridge]
                 Bb     Gm
I got tired of waiting
              Dm                     A
Wondering if you were ever coming around
                 Bb      Gm
My faith in you was fading
       Dm                            A
When I met you on the outskirts of town
               Dm
And I said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
 A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
    Bb
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"
     Gm                       A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said


[Outro]
   Em
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
 B
I love you, and that's all I really know
     C
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
  Am                 B              Em
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"
