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 standin' 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
And say, "Hello"
           A
Little did I know

      G                         A
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
        Bm                          D
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
           G
And I was cryin' on the staircase
 A                         Bm  G    A
Beggin' 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"

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

       G                         A
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
        Bm                          D
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
             G
But you were everything to me
       A                         Bm  G    A
I was beggin' 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"
 D
Romeo, save me, they're tryna 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"
    A    Bm   G   A
Oh, oh

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

 D
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
     G                      A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
            E
And said, "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
Oh, oh, oh
        C#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
       A                                    E
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
