[Intro] 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] C G Am F G [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 [Outro] D A Bm Uh oh, uh oh G A D We were both young when I first saw you
