[Intro]
B F# G#m E
[Verse]
B
We were both young when i first saw you
E
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
G#m F#
I’m standing there on a balcony of summer air
[Verse]
B
See the lights, see the party the ball gowns
E
I see you make your way through the crowd
G#m
You say hello
F#
Little did I know
[Pre-chorus]
E F#
That you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
G#m B
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
E
And i was crying on the staircase
F# G#m B
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
B
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
F#
I'll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
G#m
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
E F# B
It’s a love story baby just say yes
[Verse]
B
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
E
We keep quite because we're dead if they know
G#m
So close your eyes
F#
Let’s keep this down for a little while
[Pre-chorus]
E F#
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
G#m B
and my daddy said stay away from Juliet
E
But you were everything to me
F# G#m B
and I was begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
B
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
F#
I'll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
G#m
You be the prince and I'll be the princess
E F#
It’s a love story baby just say yes
[Chorus]
B
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
F#
This love is difficult, but it’s real
G#m
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
E F#
It’s a love story baby just say yes,
[Solo]
B F# G#m E
[Bridge]
G#m E
I got tired of waiting,
B F#
wondering if you were ever coming around
G#m E
My faith in you was fading
B F#
Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus]
B
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
F#
I keep waiting for you but you never come
G#m
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
E F#
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
[Chorus 2 - Key change]
C#
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
G#
I love you and that’s all I really know
A#m
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
F# G# C#
