We were both young  when I first saw you
 
 B D D D  
 
I close my  eyes
 
 D D C# D  E
 
And the flashback  starts
 
 D C# D  B
 
I'm standing  there
 
 D D D C# B A A B  B
 
On a balcony in  summer air
 
D D D  
 
See the  lights
 
 D D C# C# D E  D
 
See the party, the  ball gowns
 
 B D D D D C# C# D  E
 
I see you make your  way through the crowd
 
 D C# D B D C# B A  B
 
And say hello,  little did I know
 
G D D D D D D D C#  D E D
 
That you were  Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
 
 A B D D D D D D D  A G F#
 
And my daddy said  stay away from Juliet
 
 F# F# E F# E F# E  F# F# 
 
And I was crying on  the staircase
 
 D E D E D G F# F#  F# E
 
Begging you please  don't go, and I said
 
D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E
 
Romeo take me  somewhere we can be alone
 
D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E 
 
I'll be waiting all  there's left to do is run
 
D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E 
 
You'll be the  prince and I'll be the princess
 
D D G F# D E E D  F#  E 
 
It's a love story  baby just say yes
 
D F# F# F# F# F# E  E F# G F#
 
So I sneak out to  the garden to see you
 
 F# F# F# F# F# E E  F# G
 
We keep quiet  'cause we're dead if they knew
 
 D C# D  B
 
So close your  eyes
 
 D D D B A A B  B
 
Escape this town  for a little while
 
G D D D D D D D C#  D E D
 
'Cause you were  Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
 
  A B D D D D D D D  A G F#
 
And my daddy said  stay away from Juliet
 
  F# F# E F# E F# E  F#  
 
But you were  everything to me
 
  D E D E D E D G  F# F# F# E
 
I was begging you  please don't go and I said
 
D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E 
 
Romeo take me  somewhere we can be alone
 
D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E 
 
I'll be waiting all  there's left to do is run
 
 D D G F# D E E E D  F# D E 
 
You'll be the  prince and I'll be the princess
 
D D G F# D E E D  F#  E 
 
It's a love story  baby just say yes
 
D D G F# E D E E E  D F# D E
 
Romeo save me, they  try to tell me how to feel
 
 D E F#  D E D D E  D F# D
 
This love is  difficult, but it's for real
 
 D E D F# E D D E D  F# E
 
Don't be afraid,  we'll make it out of this mess
 
 D D E F# D F# F# A  F# D
 
It's a love story  baby just say yes 
 
F# E D C# C#  D
 
I got tired of  waiting
 
 B C# D B F# F# F#  F# F# G F# E
 
Wondering if you  were ever coming around
 
 F# F# E D C# C#  D
 
My faith in you is  fading
 
 D E F# F# F# F# A  G F# E
 
When I met you on  the outskirts of town
 
D D G F# E D E E E  D F# D E
 
Romeo save me I've  been feeling so alone
 
 D E F# D E D E D  F# D E
 
I keep waiting for  you but you never come
 
 D D E D F# E D D D  E D F# D
 
Is this in my head?  I don't know what to think
 
 D D E D F# E D F#  D F#   
 
He knelt to the  ground and pulled out a ring
 
E D E E A G# E F#                                   
 
And said, marry me  Juliet    
 
 E F# F# F# E G# E  F#
 
You'll never have  to be alone
 
 E F# G# F# E B A  G# G# F#
 
I love you and  that's all I really know
 
E E F# E G# F# E F#  E G# F#

It's a love story  baby just say yes

'Cause we were both  young when I first saw you
