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 I was
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
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, oh

[Solo]

[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

[Bridge]
D A Em G

                  Em
Oh I remember you drivin' to my house
       G
In the middle of the night
        D
I'm the one who makes you laugh
         A
When you know you're about to cry
      Em
And I know your favorite songs
        G
And you tell me about your dreams
        D
Think I know where you belong
        A
Think I know it's with me

[Chorus]
          D
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
A                                     Em
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                G
You belong with me
D
Standing by and waiting at your back door
A                                        Em
All this time how could you not know, baby
                G                   D
You belong with me, you belong with me

[Outro]
                A
You belong with me
                              Em
Have you ever thought just maybe
                G                   D
You belong with me, you belong with me
