Intro: D A Bm G 

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                        A  (use the A in later verses)
And say, "Hello". 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                                        A                                        Bm  G        A
And I was crying on the staircase. 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"

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

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

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

D A Bm G A (jam — oh-ohh)

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

Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
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 oh, uh oh oh
            A                                                     E
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
