Capo - 2nd Fret

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

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 G I said,

C Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
G I'll be waiting, all that'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

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

'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 G I said

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 Romeo save me, they're trying 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
Oh, oh

| C | G | Am | F | G |

I got tired of Am waiting
F Wondering if C you were ever coming around G
My faith in you was Am fading F
When I C met you on the outskirts of G town
And I said

C Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
GI 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

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

D Oh, A oh, oh, Bm oh
G 'Cause we were both young when D I first saw you.
